Watching 2 channels in one time?

[HomerDK]

Hi.

Is it possible to watch 2 channel in one time when having dual tuner card?
Usefull when there is football (soccer) on different channels at same time

No, there is no picture-in-picture functionality.

Hehe thanks i knew that.
But maybe it was possible to start GBPVR 2 times and then watch different channels on them.
Would be a good feature to have.

Actually, this would be a BIG wishlist item... split/multiple feeds... like in Back to the Future 2, where they had multiple streams on the screen.

I'm sure it would be tricky, cause you're simply redirecting the MPEG stream to the video currently, and a split screen would require rendering and/or manipulation.

To be honest, I'm unlikely to do this. I found I've never found the picture-in-picture features of TVs I've owned useful. I found it a nice wow feature to see in action, but not that useful.

You should already be able to start more than one instance by creating the following registry key:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\devnz\AllowMultipleInstances=1 (DWORD)

A bit like the below. Although just after the screen grab, two of the pvrx2 screens froze and I had to kill them with task manager - but they kept running on the server machine (screen grab on client).
