Tuners only handling some combinations of channel configs

    Hello all,
    As an FYI:  My HD tuner
        (DVB-T2 290e) was only tuning some combinations of HD channels
        -  I was trying to record 2 HD channels on the same multiplex
        and could only record one. No error was produced by VDR or in
        the kernel log, just that nothing happened, the original channel
        kept being recorded. 

      
    To cut a long story short,
      I found that in channels.conf some channels were configured as

      
      B8S1P0M256

      
      But some were :

      
      B8S1P0

      (i.e. no modulation specified)

    
    Basically if VDR tried
        to tune both of these types at the same time, it failed as
        above.

      
    However, individually
        it could tune to both types. 

      
    Once I set them all
        with B8S1P0M256, I
        managed to get 4 HD channels simultaneously :-)

      
    Perhaps Klaus could
        confirm - Is this a bug/feature, is the modulation type
        mandatory, recommended, or best to not configure and let VDR
        determine when running?
    Thanks
