Recording issues - HVR4000

[kylebrophy]

Hi,

This isnt really an issue as such - its an observation - that does have consequences down the track.

Normally when you have x tuner cards set to record at the same time - and you are also watching live tv you will get thrown out back to the menu once all the tuners become active for the recordings.

What ive just discovered is that when i was watching TV2 HD on the DVB-T part of the HVR4000 - it caused the recording that was scheduled to use the DVB-S part of the card to fail.

Worth noting that it was greys anatomy that failed (and now my a$$ is grass when the wife finds out).

The DVB-S tuner and the DVB-T tuner are set up as separate capture sources. However it would appear that it does not boot you out when your watching live tv on the DVB-T and it needs the DVB-S for a recording (and prob vice versa).

I had been given the impression that the HVR4000 'knew' that both sources were on the same card - so would behave somewhat like a standard card in terms of tuner availability.

Im sure this my also be a problem for other dual mode tuner cards.

What exactly is the logic for GBPVR when it comes to this dilemma?? :eek:

Try editing your bda.ini file, and adding the following line into the HVR4000's DVB-S and DVB-T sections:

SHARED_NAME=Hauppauge 4000

Many Thanks.

Ill try to do a test tonight and prove this.

If it does work - maybe its something that can be updaed in the install files?

I've already updated the master files with this.
