Change channel then start recording

[JohnK]

I've been using GB-PVR for a week or so now and only last night finally got a usb-uirt (I have a DirecTV receiver) to really be able to take advantage of what the software can do. What I've noticed is when you have a program setup to be recorded it starts recording then changes the channel, so I get a bit of one channel, then the numbers being entered to change the channel, and so on at the begining of the recording. Is it possible to configure or tweak GB-PVR to change the channel then start recording say 10 seconds later?

Thanks!

The reason its done in this order is primarily for the people that use Live TV. It use to do it in the order you describe, but this added about a second and half to changing channels. GB-PVR needs bit of time to buffer video before the components are in a state where the can be ready to playback video. Its better to do this buffering while the "lengthy" process of changing channels via IR blaster is in progress.

This no difference between livetv recordings or any other recording, so I cant currently do a special case for livetv.

Thanks sub, that makes sense. Are there any plans to change it in a future version so it can change channels first then record for scheduled recordings, or is that totally off the table?

Maybe, but its not high on the priority list. Dont worry, I wont see it all the time, so I'm very aware of the issue.
