Not a support question, so down here in discussion.

I have (double) DVB-T, (double) DVB-S and analogue from satellite STB.

(1) The single analogue channel for STB, has all channels available 24 hours
(2) DVB-S has most of the FTA channels available 24 hours.
(3) DVB-T has most of the FTA channels available most of the time.
But, 2 and 3 above may not have the same set of FTA channels available :mad:

(1) Is the only source with subscription channels available.
(2) is missing some channels that are FTA on 3 and FTA on (3)
(3) has channels that are limited in time (e.g 0700-1900), where on (1) they are 24hour

e.g. there could be a channel that is 24 hours on (1), not available on (2) and restricted hours on (3)

What would you do with the EPG?
(a) have three different channel names for the three sources (makes EPG big and untidy and auto scheduling not possible??)
(b) merge them and get the priority to record 1 then 2 then 3 (ties up subscription channel tuner and no guarantee of getting a recording anyway.
© something else?

I've been pondering this for some time and in the past just trusted to luck.
