Watch multiple channels/streams on same transponder

Postby p-e-p-i-j-n » Sat Jun 12, 2010 11:38 am

Hi,

I trying to watch multiple DVB-C channels/streams on the same transponder with only one tuner. Is that generally possible with the DVBLink software ?

I'm running the following config:

Anysee E30TC combo
DVBLink TVSource
DVBLink TVServer
MediaPortal 1.1.0 RC4

Everything is working fine but I can't watch/timeshift/record multiple channels on the same transponder. When I setup MediaPortal without DBVLink I am able to watch more than one channels at the same time.

So is this generally possible with the DVBLink software ? If not, why is the software setting up 4 virtual tuners when you can only use one at the time ?

Watching more than one channel from the same transponder is not possible with TVSource.
You can watch the same channel in more than one client.

Thanks for your answer Oberon,

Are there any future plans for it ;-)

And can you tell em why there are 4 virtual tuners installed ? Can I change the amount of virtual tuners ? Because MediaPortal is trying the other 3 tuners before it tells that there are no free tuners available.

Other way is, of course, to disable the other 3 tuners in MediaPortal ;-)

There are no short term plans for this feature.
DVBLink installs 4 tuners because this is the maximum amount of tuners that MediaCenter can control. If you have less physical tuners you can disable them in Mediaportal/Mediacenter.
