Won't work. The priority is important for the calculation which card
too choose. The best card you can have is DVB-C, that's why it has a
priority of 10. A priority of 0 is a very very bad card (not much
better than dropping the recording).
I suggest ivtv cards to use a priority of 6 or 7 (set a default for
all cards to 7 and the user can adjust it) and for normal analog cards
to 4 or 5.
Just as a side note, I found my ivtv recordings from cable TV to be of much
better quality than (lower bitrate) terrestrial DVB. Most people seem to be
thinking that digital TV is always better.
I have had the same experience with IVTV vs DVB-S. The companies
marketting digital cable and satellite are always saying how the quality
is better because it's all digital. The truth is that they broadcast
most channels with the lowest bitrate they can get away with, and use
higher bitrates for movie channels and special events (and of course
HDTV channels). With IVTV even though the incomming signal is analog I
can still set the mpeg bitrate to DVD quality and the results are superb.
(That doesn't mean that I want different default priorities - I could still
change them for me personally.)
Agreed. I'm setting the default priorities to 5 for v4l TV and 7 for IVTV.
