Michael,

OK. This sounds like a problem with your external channel change (script/transmitter or serial link/STB). If Myth said it's going to record on channel 4, but recorded 3, it wasn't Myth's doing.

No it isn't. It works perfectly fine when I use it for Live TV, and it works perfectly fine for all other channels. It only breaks when I want to record something from Channel 1004 (i.e. Channel 4 as in the name of the broadcaster) on encoder 2, but it records Channel 3 (i.e. ITV) on encoder 1.

OK. Then this means that--regardless of recording type--when Myth identifies that two channels are the same, it will *always* use the preferred encoder. The more I think about it, the more that seems the sensible way to program it.

That's fine, but it *only* happens for Channel 1004. If I want to record something from Channel 1001, it shows that it will record from Channel 1001, and does so. If I want to record from Channel 1024, it shows that it will record from Channel 1024 and does so. It *only* happens on Channel 1004, it will show that it will record from Channel 4, but records from Channel 3.

The only time encoder 2 will be used is when encoder 1 is already in use. By default, encoder 1 is used (basically, encoders are chosen by priority, but in the event of a tie, the lowest-numbered encoder is used).

I have set Encoder 2 as higher priority.

Thanks

Cheers - Piers
