Thanks. Using MythTV as the backend might work but my WAF would drop dramatically. It is an interesting option though.
I had assumed that I could record one channel per card and so was going to setup 9 channels (ie TV1-Sat1, TV1-Sat2, TV1-Aerial, ... ). But your comment suggests I can only record one channel even if I have two or more cards. So would my plan work? I do know python but haven't looked at the Freevo code so I don't think changing the recordserver is a good idea for me. Putting effort into helping with V2.0 would be a better plan. > -----Original Message----- > From: John Molohan [mailto:john.molo...@gcd.ie] > Sent: Sunday, 5 July 2009 9:43 p.m. > To: freevo-users@lists.sourceforge.net > Subject: Re: [Freevo-users] Video groups and mutliple channels > > Alan Walls wrote: > > I'm a MythTV user who is considering moving my system to Freevo.
