Working on setting this up.
I have been able to succesfully setup Analogue and QAM digital on a Cable system. It was a little quirky but managed to get there.
Have noticed a couple oddities in the operation. I have setup Yapi2xml and grab one source "Digital" for both Tuners. It seems to tune them fine if I go to watch TV although they do stutter when you Watch Live TV.
I can however Record a program then go bakc and watch it and the playback is nice from Analogue and exceptional from Digital, Truly an HD picture.
One thing I have noticed however, is this. If I program one digital HD channel to record, the Tuners try to use the Analogue tuner to record that show it is just static, and then a second recording will work on the HD digital side.
If I however, set it to record on one of the Lower Analog channels first then setup an HD digital channel, both recordings run and give me exactly what I expect. An analog and an HD digital recording.
Also noticed if I start a digital recording, I can then go back and watch that recording and the playback is fine. So I am guessing that is a setting I need to work out.
So the real question is the priority of the tuners. Do i need to setup up 2 separate sources one for analog and one for digital?
