Hi,
I would be interested in a brief overview of the GB-PVR design concept / approach regarding use of tuner cards and remotes. For example I am looking at setting up a PC with potentially 2 x DVB-T and 2 x DVB-S (with CI card) cards in the PC.
It seems I may potentially get 4 remotes (one with each card I buy) and custom recording software with the cards as well. So some specific questions to be more precise:
Q1 - What is the overall approach that GB-PVR uses regarding its use of IR remote & setting recording strategies.
Q2 - Do you basically configure the software to recognise 1 of the remotes then use only one? Or in my card would I need say 1 remote for teh DVB-T and another remote for the DVB-S cards?
Q3 - When scheduling a recording I assume you use GB-PVR and effectively junk any scheduled recording software that may come with the tuner cards?
Q4 - Is yes, is it possible to schedule a new timer record item (e.g. 7pm every tuesday from DVB-S channel X) from your remote control? Or do you need to use the PC's keyboard to do this?
Q5 - Does GB-PVR support all the remotes for all the tuner card it lists as being compatible?
Any other words to help clarify the remote control strategy would be great.
Thanks
