Hi,
I have two recording sources - the free to air broadcast channels picked up by a tv tuner, and a satellite settop box that receives NZ SkyTV wich is picked up via s-video. The SkyTV also carries all the free to air channels that are recieved by the tuner source.
When I view the EPG, I see all the channels from one source followed by all the channels from the other. Therefore, TV1 for example, appears twice in the EPG.
What would be nice would be if the fact that it is the same channel could be recognised and dealt with cleverly. I.e. TV1 would only appear once, and if selected to record/view, the first available videosource that carries the channel would be used.
Otherwise it is a bit confusing for the wife (ok, for me! to select tv1 and find that no recording source is available as I selected from the part of the EPG that is associated with a recording source that is recording something else. I have to go find TV1 at the far end of the EPG to watch it.
Does that make sense?
Thanks,
JohnO
