Swap/cycle tuner

[SuicideDog]

I looked through the first few pages and didn't see this request so delete this if it's been requested already.

Swap/cycle tuner feature:

The ability to swap between tuners with a push of a button:

I have this feature on my Comcast DVR and really love it. Since I don't use the live preview feature what I'd love to be able to do is program a button on my remote that "swap" between the tuners.

How it works:

If not recording:

Start Live TV and select first tuner availible with timeshift. If I press swap switch to other tuner and start timeshift.

Then have both timeshifting live tv so I can pause one on a commerical switch to other and watch it for a while then when a commerical on the second tuner starts I can pause and switch back to the first tuner. I love doing this so I can skip forward through commericals.

If I switch a channel on either tuner it just restarts the timeshift like normal

If recording but not on all tuners:

Start live TV and select the first tuner avaible thats not recording and start timeshift. If I press swap then switch to the other tuner and start playing the recording as close to live TV as possible.

If I switch a channel on the tuner that is not recording then just restart the timeshift. If on a tuner that is recording either prevent channel change or warn that if I change the channel it will cancel the recording ( I like the warning but can live with just not being able to change the channel).

If recording on all tuners:

Start live TV and ask which recording I would like to watch but start the recording as close to the live TV as possible. If I hit the swap button then just switch to the other turner and start as close to live TV as possible.

If I switch a channel either pop up a warning or prevent channel change.


I know this is a lot but I think alot of people would like it. For me it make watching live TV a lot better.

Let me know what you think.

BTW if I haven't mentioned it enough this program absolutely ROCKS!! (I've also converted my friend from MythTV because he found out that one of the DVB-S cards he was looking at wasn't supported by linux but was supported natively with GBPVR).

I donated at Xmas but will do it again soon! Keep up the fantasic work!

hmm.. I didn't even get the "I'm not going to do that" from sub. Wonder if he started reading it and got bored halfway through.

Maybe he got tired. He is on holiday this week.
