Hi,
I have master backend with pvr 350 with analog antenna. I've
recently added salve backend (Asus Digimatrix) with built in bttv
capture card with same antenna signal:
- slave backend is not on all the time (it's mainly used for
frontend)...
- I'd like to record always first on master tuner and then on slave
tuner
- I'm not sure how to configure channels (they are same for both
cards - same antenna is connected) - I do have problems cause
defining same channels on both obviously doesn't work...
I'd kindly ask for any help or pointers to more info how to setup
such system... I've read howto, but didn't extract such info..
It should be straightforward. First, make sure you are using the
*same* database for both the slave and master backends. This is a
common mistake to create a new database that the slave uses. Once
you have this set up, adding the slave capture card and binding the
same channel source you created for the first capture card to the new
capture card will allow both to schedule for the same channels
without any additional work. As long as the slave is on, it will be
available for recordings. Because it was added second to your
database, it will naturally be of a lower priority than the first card.
Hi,
thanks for info... I'm just curious - should I set up same channels on
both backends or is enough just once. Also how to distinguish between
Composite inputs on both systems ?
You don't need to set up two channel sources, when you run mythtv-setup
on the slave backend to add the card, you will then be able to, from the
Input Connections screen, match both tuner inputs to the same channel
source. The inputs will be labelled by tuner number so as not to be
confusing. This is described in the documentation at
http://www.mythtv.org/docs/mythtv-HOWTO-9.html#ss9.3 by telling you to
skip over "Video Sources" since you only need to define the source once
to use it with both tuners.
