Sorry what I was trying to ask is it possible to replace say 1=10847,V,23000,89,69 with 1=10847,V,23000,1:999 so that all transponders with the settings 10847 v23000 XXX are detected so that everytime the television companies change their settings a quick scan would detect the revised position.

Damn, this explains why it wouldn't record the F1 race today. Will my Compro VideoMate S350 do S2 I wonder...

I'll save you the trouble of trying - NO. :mad:

Thanks for the info.

But double damn - means more expense as I'll have to get a Hauppauge HVR4000 which at least will match the other tuner card)...

You'd have missed the interesting part of the race anyway as it had moved to BBC2 by then!! Smile

I told mine to record "coast" but the damn thing overran anyway.
Thank heavens for get_iplayer !! I would have preferred it in HD, but as a 10gb download........

I was watching it having told it to post pad for as long as possible but I suspected they'd bump it to BBC2 sooner or later and knew I'd have to manually switch. So when they did, I told it to record coast and stopped BBC1HD and then let the wife watch something else! Only then did they say it was on BBCHD too.

Hrmph. No HD here yet...so...

I haven't touched the PVR for at least 18 months, it not being broke... But if I'm going to have to dismantle the hifi to get at it to install a new tuner, then I might as well do the rest of the maintenance I've mentally planned:
1. Remember to save the db3 database
2. Install new tuner card
3. Install an SSD in place of the rattly old OS hard disk (recordings live on a separate disk)
4. Install Win7 (32-bit - no need for 64-bit)
5. Install NPVR (oh yes, still on XP+GBPVR here - it works...)
6. Debug
7. Debug
8. Debug
...
