Trying to make concurrent recordings from the tv guide

[dickdelt]

I have two tuners on the same usb device. They come up with the same channels on there scans. The built-in guide and the Newa web guide show the duplicate channels but there is no indication to which tuner they are attached. In order to record two shows concurrently I need to be on different tuners. I've tried to give the channels on one tuner slightly different names and map them to the same guide channel that the first channels go to. That doesn't work. The built in guide list them but without programming. The web newa guide does not include them. In the batch mapping function I gave them the same name as on the first tuner but changed the channel number so I could recognize it in the guide and kept it mapped to the channel name which is the same as it real name. The built in guide shows the altered Channel number but no programming.The web newa guide does not show the altered channel. The guide information is xmltv provided by Zapit. Has any one found a way to indicate in the guide which stations with the same channel numbersand names are on different tuners

Presuming that these 2 tuners are connected to the same source (i.e. antenna/cable), then you want to MERGE the channels in NextPVR so that it treats them both as the same channel.

When you setting up the second tuner, it should have given you the option to copy the channels from the first tuner - you should take it up on the offer, so that you end up with one set of channels available on two tuners.

delete all the channels from the second tuner (Ctrl-A to select all), then when you go to setup that tuner again it will offer to copy the channels from the first tuner. They'll be auto-merged so the program sees one of each channel with 2 tuner sources for each.
