Use seperate tuner for each recording

[Escape7]

Hello,

i have the following question:

The standard for the recording service is, that if two recordings are on the same frequency, the stream is "splitted" for both recordings. So 2 (or more) recordings, on the same QAM (DVB-C) only need one tuner.

Is there a possibility to change that behavior, so that every recording uses its own tuner, even if the programs are on the same QAM?

Thanks for answers. The background is: I dont know for sure, but i sometimes realize, that i have little distortions in the recordings, when 2 channels are recorded from one QAM. I do not think, that it is related to my HDD speed, or the PC Speed. So i would like to test if using separate tuners, is changes.

Unfortunately there is no easy way to force it to behave that way.

OK, no problem. It was just an idea.

But i also want to say something else:

This software is REALLY great! And the support is perfekt!!!!! Many softwares that do cost money, are not so good like this one.

I just want to say thanks to the NPVR team, and of course especially to sub!

While I think you are barking up the wrong tree as sub's multi-recording code has been solid for over 10 years, hence why it can't be disabled, you can go into each tuner and delete some of the channels so that certain channels exist only on certain tuners even when they're on the same physical frequency.

For example, here in the US I have channel 11.1 and 11.3 which both broadcast on physical channel VHF 11. I could delete 11.3 from Tuner 1 and 11.1 from Tuner 2 to force each logical channel to record only from a specific tuner.

Thank you, great idea!
