Message:	[quote]Hi Paul, As discussed... I've bitten the bullet and just ordered a USB Nebula master and slave (plus a 4 way aerial amplifier / splitter). My intention is to leave my system as is initially (epia II with only one PCI slot running pvr350 and wintvcap and dabdig / digiguide perfectly). I want to be able to record multiple channels and obviously would prefer the nebula(s) to be the primary devices but should there be a requirement to, use the wintv as 3rd choice. Once it all turns up, I'll have a play but thought you might be able to shed some light on how I should configure dabdig to manage this (or do I just have to tell it record using device 1,2,3 etc.). mike[/quote]   Add other emotions to your message     Add other Forum Code to your message

You will have to spot when you need to failover to the pvr250 though. Basically - edit your dabdig.ini and set usenebuladigitv=1 defaultdevice=dvb and delete all of the fields that start with NebulaDigitv (so that they get automatically re-created with the most recent default settings) For the 5 channels that are available on the PVR350 - change the channel number to be DVB-1,TV-1 DVB-2,TV-2 etc Then when you schedule a recording from DABDig it will ask you if you want to use DVB or TV. It won't ask you for the other channels - but do make sure that their number matches the LCN in DigiTV. The multi-tuner support in DigiTV is very very new (bug fixes due on Monday). Once it works ... it should push the single recording request from DABDig onto a free device - automatically. Ideally - DABDig would work out which is free - but I haven't done it yet. The basics are in there (in the unreleased 2.55) because I am starting to use pending recordings file. Finding time to work on it is hard though. But with 2 Nebula tuners - both of which can record more than one programme from the same mux at the same time then I expect it will be rare that you need to go back to the PVR350. Once the DigiTV stuff is stable ... you could sell the PVR350 while it has a resale value before it becomes obselete in 2012 Edited by Paul Webster on Thursday, September 15, 2005 - 3:59:09 PM
