Below is a segment of an overnight update to the guide. I like to check the log to see how the update completed.

Can someone please explain the meaning of the bold-faced lines? Not an error but I enjoy knowing what's really happening.

Thank you.

There is one of these <tuning> blocks for each type of device, and the carry the information the application needs to tune the requested channel on that device. In the case of the HDHR Prime / DCR-3250, it only really needs the channel number for tuner. For other types of tuners, you get frequency, symbol rate, video input, satellite selection etc.

also looks like NextPVR is checking resources to make sure simultaneous recordings will not conflict.

Thank you, sub. Good info.
