Specify Tuner for Live and Recording

[Marcus]

My household is biligual.

I like to record in english and my wife in spanish.

We have two dish network receivers with one set to play spanish audio and the other to play standard english. Essentially a dedicated spanish sat box and one for english.

Is it possible to specify which tuner card will record specific programming? Can live TV specify which tuner?

I understand the basic function of GBPVR to grab the first unused input/card. Can I instead specify which one for the purposes SAP (secondary Audio Programming)

Thanks

No, its not currently possible to do this.

Is this functionality something that might be added with a plugin or is it core to the GBPVR program itself?

Would a work around be to not share the guide info for the two tuners essentially listing guide data twice as if they were unique program sources? One guide unique to each setup?

If you're using dual inputs, to dual cards (or the PVR-500 with the accessory backplate), then you can do exactly that.
Specify individual guides, one for each card/tuner.

It will be redundant but I will try listing both guides.

Perhaps I will seperate only the channels that frequently use spanish on one setup and specify the secondary port of one of the cards. This will leave a majority of the regular channels unrepeated.

Perhaps in the future the ability to specify receiver or select SAP will be added, if it is physically possible.
