Good evening Jeremy, I don't know if this is true with the sourcecaps patch, but this deals with recording priorities. It's my understanding that recordings have a default (lower) priority and occur on secondary tuners. Look at the vdr MANUAL regarding Primary limit; which states: The minimum priority a timer must have to be allowed to use the primary DVB interface, or to force another timer with higher priority to use the primary DVB interface. This is mainly useful for recordings that should take place only when there is nothing else to do, but should never keep the user from viewing stuff on the primary interface. On systems with only one DVB card, timers with a priority below PrimaryLimit will never execute. Anyhow, I hope the above is relevant to your issue. Thanks again for the start that you've provided by on occasion through your id-disc topics and the several private emails over the past few years! I've been hanging out with Cym and the fellas in #vdr for the past year and have been enjoying helping others with vdr :) Take care, george On 1/6/06, Jeremy Hall <jhall@xxxxxxxx> wrote: > > Hello, > > My sourcecaps looks like this: > > SourceCaps = 1 S1W S2W S3W S4W > SourceCaps = 2 S1W S2W S3W > > Card1 is a budget card > > Card2 is a FF card and is PrimaryDevice. > > I was watching a channel on S4W, which meant the budget card was feeding > the stream to the FF card for display.
