One1 Usb Dvb-S tuner and multi record channels, ability to program all via Tv Guide

[Waynesm]

Hi,
After some help from this forum I have a single Hauppauge Nova Usb2 Dvb-S system working.
With appropriate scheduling it is possible to record, simultaneously, all channels of the Tvnz Group OR the Mediaworks channels as well as Cue, Stratos and Shine with those.
As long as one channel is programmed via Epg and the rest Manually all is good.
Within the last hour I have recorded Tv1,Tv2,Tvnz6,Tvnz7 and Maori Tv all at once,
followed by Tv3,C4,Tv3+1,Prime,Cue,Stratos and Shine succesfully.
I realise that this is a major ask but the ability to select all channels from the Epg would be useful.
As long as one channel is programmed via Epg it does not seem to matter if the manual records are before, same as or after time programmed on the Epg selection.
Selecting two either manual or via Epg will result in 0 Byte recordings and a restart of the computer is required due to errors.
Tell tale indication of errors are distortion of placement of "Tv Guide" graphic when switching from Recordings to Main menu.
I am not aware that all Dvb-S systems allow this but if they do then this would be a valuable addition to future releases.
I have programmed a manual recording which started before an Epg selected program and that also was successful.
The on screen indication of individual record only displays on the Epg selected program although the indication at the top of the guide is there.
Amongst all this a useful 2 alterations have occurred to me, that is the ability in manual record to adjust the time by 5 minutes perhaps by use of shift key to change the default 10 minutes for the final selection of start/finish time.
The second is when adjusting the record start time the finish time is also incremented as well
in tandem thereby reducing keyboard use.
Congratulations of a brilliant program and I look forward to future releases.

I cant think of any reason you shouldnt be able to schedule your multi-records from the TV Guide in the current release. It's worked whenever I've tried it. ie, if from the TV Guide you schedule 'TV One', then try scheduling an overlapping show on 'TV2', it should be allowed. If you then attempt to schedule a recording on TV3, it should tell you the recording is not possible.

If its not working for you, reproduce the problem, and post the logs, along with a detailed description of what happened, and I'll take a look.

Do you realise you can type any time you want? The 10 minute increments are only meant as a convenience when using the left/right buttons. For example, you can type 0127 if you want a recording to start at 1:27.

Sorry, but I dont see the point in this one. I prefer it the way it currently works.
