markolarko Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 My HTPC has 6 tuners (4 + 2) and I would like to use both Windows Media Centre and DVBV simultaneously. Is it possible to restrict which tuners DVB Uses so there is no clash with Media Centre? Thanks in advance! Quote Link to comment
Tjod Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 You can select which tuner the DVBViewer uses (options > hardware > state). But you have to do that as well in the Windows Media Centre. And I don't know if it is possible there. Quote Link to comment
markolarko Posted August 31, 2014 Author Share Posted August 31, 2014 (edited) Are you saying that DVBV only uses one tuner in total? Even if more are available to it? Or to put it another way I understand you record multiple programs simultaneously if they are on the same transponder? Is there a limit? Thanks for the prompt reply?

Tjod Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 No, the DVBViewer uses as many tuner as needed (for main playback, pip and recordings) and available (state is not "Do not use"). But it is bad Idea to use more then one DVB programs on one PC. If you are doing it anyway you have to tell every program exactly which tuner they are aloud to use and which not (so some TV cards are DVBViewer only and others TV cards are WMC only). And you are responsible that never two programs try to use the same tuner. Quote Link to comment
markolarko Posted August 31, 2014 Author Share Posted August 31, 2014 That is really helpful... The WMC program only allows 4 tuners so I have two spare which we can set up to record other long term series. In Windows Media Centre there is the ability to record 'series' Is there anything similar to this on DVBV? Quote Link to comment

DVBViewer allows to deactivate any tuner -> hardware -> status -> don't use The question is, can WMC do the same Quote Link to comment
