96.8 Conflict Issue

[ShiningDragon]

Yeah,

I have a problem with this too with my PVR500. I think it got to do with the way GBPVR picks the tuner 1 or 2 for the recordings.

Let say I schedule a show on Channel 13 at 6:00 to 6:30. It picks tuner 1. then I schedule another show at 6:30 to 7:00 on same channel. I think it picks tuner 2. Then I could not schedule another show from 6:00 to 7:00 because both tuner 1 and 2 already used.

I think this is what happen to me, so I have to change to order I schedule my shows to resolve the conflict.

The Problem here could be the recording pedding before and after every show. Perhaps you should setup one manual recording for your both shows @ channel 13 beginning from 6:00 till 7:00, while you shedule the other show in the guide.

This way both tuners should work correct.

I have noticed the same scheduling conflict "issue" with adjacent recordings not on the same channel. It would seem that fewer conflicts would occur if the adjacent time recordings (non-overlapping) were scheduled on the same tuner. But, I just threw more tuners at the problem. Not the most efficient solution, but it works.

Think about it: Your configuration with 2 Tuner is NOT able to record three Clips at same time. Why do i say 3 clips?

Look, you can give every recording some minutes BEFORE the show starts, and you can give some minutes AFTER the show ends, before the recording service stops.

Now let's see: You wanna record a Show @ 07:15 - 07:45 and on the same channel the following show @ 07:45 - 08:30.

Primary you wild think "1 Tuner is enough, because the show are on the same channel and follow up each other".

But you forgot the PREPADDING and POSTPADDING time configured @ CONFIG.EXE or the recording itself!

For this config above you NEED 2 Tuners. It's no GB-PVR bug, this is logic.

If you wanna record another show on another channel between 07:30 - 08:15 you'll need a THIRD Tuner.

GBPVR only honours the pre and post padding if it does not create a conflict. 1 tuner *is* enough to record both the 07:15-07:45 *and* 07:45 - 08:30, even if you have configured pre- and post-padding. It will just not use post padding on the first show, and no pre padding on the second show. As simple as that.

Mysterious. I "have" a padding on my recordings, even if they are followed up each other.

But for me it's no problem, because i "could" start a manual recording without this Tuner-Issue-Mysterium.

But then you must have two tuners? In that case gbpvr tries to use them both to ensure that you get the padding in there, too.

That is correct. And DeadRun, or the others above have more than one tuner too.

I don't think, that this is a problem of gb-pvr. It's more a "logistic" thing.
