switching between tuners?

I did mention this in my first response.

Um, I *did* have them mapped to different EPG channels. The issue was that they were both "enabled".

Its working exactly the way its supposed to. When it you start live tv on a channel, it works its way up from the bottom of the capture source list, looking for an available tuner that has that channel. When you later change channels, it tries to stick to that existing tuner to ensure the quickest channel change time. It'll only look for another capture sources if the existing one doesnt have the required channel.

If it is a hybrid tuner though, then it should look at the mapped channels, and if they overlap the analog tuner, then it should be smart enough to see that the user must want the other tuner (DTV) instead of the Analog.
Perhaps have a 'linked' function in the capture source area, for people with hybrid tuners to make it more obvious what is going on?

Ah, yeah, I meant that the analog channels should not be mapped or enabled on the digital tuner and vice versa. I keep forgetting that some things that are second nature to me may not be obvious to others who are new to GBPVR (I can pretty much set up QAM tuners in my sleep now).

Hi, apologies on necroing this thread, but most boards I know prefer that over creating a whole new one.

I just want to make sure that there isn't some way by keyboard command to swap between tuners. Like for example with my Dual Tuner Cable PVR I can be watching one channel and then press the Swap button and it will switch to my other tuner. I mostly use it during football season so I can easily switch between two games and still have the ability to rewind each one if something interesting happens while I'm watching the other live.

Thanks for your time.

I don't think this is possible with the current version.

Sorry, no there isnt.
