temporarily disable tuner in config?

Torque · 2007-11-29, 04:47 PM

My HDHomeRun went up in smoke, so while it's off for repair, I would rather just disable it in config. Then when the new one arrives, I can re-enable it without having to rescan all the channels, setup EPG, etc.

Is there a way to disable a tuner in the config app?

I do not know if you can disable the tuner but I think you can just disable all the channels on it so that it is not used.

Oh yeah, great idea. Thanks!

Along this line:
i have STB woth close to 300 channels in listing and i'll record only from few dozens at most, how to disable/remove unwanted channels from TV Guide? thanks, Vlad

backup the db and delete the channel source?? Reinstate it once your tuner is fixed.

Just make sure you export/import your recording back into the backed up db when you reinstate it. Kind of like using a sledgehammer on a mosquito but easier than disabling 300 channels.

or you could figure out the sql to disable the channels in the db directly..I think there's a use 1 or 0 inthe source_channel_mapping table.

Thanks, you are making my life even more difficult than before. Big Grin

Trust me it will faster for me to remove 280 channels manually , than do a research and try to figure out what i did wrong after words. LOLOLOLOL. I have a feeling, that i need to modify a listing saved on CTlising's website. this way on complease reload i'll get back only listings that i need. I'll play with it tonight. Please let me know if i'm wrong.

No I wasn't offended, just some friendly advice, always, always, backup, backup and backup again.
You wouldn't believe how many times I've done something and had to go back to a back up - of gbpvr or of the whole system. And since I know my restores work, I don't mind taking some risks.
