Trying to understand multiple tuners & conflicts

I'll PM you my email address, you can zip and email your gbpvr.db3 file.

You seem to have done some very odd channel mappings in your database. For example, you have a channel call KMSPDT. On one capture source you've mapped it to "T:26,9,1~P:3~V:49~A:52~PMT:48~PCR:49~N:>9.1 KMSP-HD (eng)". I'd expect second capture source to have the same mapping, but instead you have the second one mapped to "T:20,82,1~P:2~V:2048~A:2050~PMT:49~PCR:2048~N:>82.1 KMSPDT* (000(AC3))".I'm sure these screwy mappings, combined with the fact that both capture have a slightly different set of channels mapped, is leading to the confusion and potential conflicts.

Some of the multiple listings you have listed in your search results are because they are simulcasting a highdef and standard def version of the same channel (KMSP-SD and KMSP-HD etc). As far as GB-PVR is concerned, these are entirely different channels.

Well, yes I'm sure. This isn't exactly a straight forward process, and I'm still figuring out how to do it right.

For example, you have a channel call KMSPDT. On one capture source you've mapped it to "T:26,9,1~P:3~V:49~A:52~PMT:48~PCR:49~N:>9.1 KMSP-HD (eng)". I'd expect second capture source to have the same mapping, but instead you have the second one mapped to "T:20,82,1~P:2~V:2048~A:2050~PMT:49~PCR:2048~N:>82.1 KMSPDT* (000(AC3))".

This is correct. Remember from my first post, tuner 0 is OTA and tuner 1 is QAM.

I think I understand this part...I went back into my SD account and removed the SD channels from my subscription, and unselected them from mappings. Searching now only shows 1 copy of the show.

However, the recurring shows list still shows some 1 hours shows as being scheduled for 3 hours, but they appear correct in pending shows.

Thanks for your help! It is appreciated.

This probably explains why its not able resolve scheduling conflicts if you have some channels that available only via one capture source.

This is normal, and is how the timeslot recordings work. It is not saying the recording is three hours long. Its saying it'll record shows with the correct name that start within that timeslot.

The default timeslot size is the start time +/- 90 minutes, which allows for slight variations in show start times from week to week. for example, if a show airs an hour late one week due to a presidental debate, it'll still be picked up because its new start time is within the timeslot.
