Disable/enable capture source,

#66 · 2007-12-05, 02:23 PM

Atm I playing with setting up my DVB card, not easy as playing is limted as the others in the house want to actually watch TV! it would be nice to disable for example my PVR150 card (and keep all the settings) while playing with the DVB card. Things tend to get a bit messy with channel listings/egp etc. I had to delete my dvb source yesterday so I could quickly put things back to normal with the 150. Get my drift?

Would be nice with a tick box next to each capture source

you just disable (untick) all the channels on that capture source no need to remove it

A bit tedious if there are 2 or 300 channels setup.

When I need to do this I have saved an exported database table with all on and off that I can import to effectively disable the card. Painful the first time, easy the next times.

true i guess its about the only time its good when you only have a less than 10 channels to pick from Smile

To test I have now only added about 5 channels on my new capture device. This way I can quicky disable them. Thanks for the ideas.

I think when I added a second tuner I added a couple of dummy channels for each tuner to the EPG. I could pick these to view and test, but because they were dummies, they didn't get used for recordings, so the household was happy.

I'm getting close to finalizing on going to DVB, so I want to test all the channels. This means I have to tick off or on about 50 channels. A "Enable All On/Off" Thingy-button would be nice.

Hoverver playing with my DVB card still messes up my IR and my channel list for my PVR150 source! Very strange

Not sure what happens, but would the device manager enable/disable work?
