Forgive me if this has already been asked but would it be possible to configure NextPVR so that if one tuner fails to find a signal and the same channel is working on another source then that is used ?

e.g. Last night our roof aerial could not get a signal for DVB-T but the BlackGold tuner I use also has DVB-S and the same channel was working on the satellite feed.

My channels are all automerged.


Thanks

NextPVR does handle failed tuners but typically in this situation the tuner doesn't fail, it just fails to deliver data. Part of the problem is the software signal strength readings are not reliable, so you might end up with failed recordings because tuners aren't available when they should be.

Making sure the most reliable tuner is given higher priority in the setting might make sense in this scenario if this is something you feel will happen often.

I created an enhancement request for exactly this:  https://forums.nextpvr.com/showthread.php?tid=62752

There are several scenarios where this would help, whether equipment failure / LNB obstruction / tuner cable disconnected or another process is using the tuner for some reason.  This would be particularly valuable when using merged channels (as automated by the LineUp utility - the development of which triggered this enhancement request)
