I haven't upgraded recently, but as far as 0.16 it can't be done as cut and dry as you want, but there is something close. You can clear your card info in the backend setup, and add them in the order that you would like them to be used for recordings (so add your bt card first). Then enable the option to avoid conflicts between live tv and recording (sorry I forget where it is). This way it will record on your bt card first, and then your pvr second, and live tv will use the pvr first and bt card second. So as long as you're only recording on one and watching on one (no pip) then it will do what you're looking for. <new feature idea> I've been thinking that Myth needs a feature like this, card "pooling" would be a good name for it I guess. Right now it is basically one pool with recording and live tv pulling from it, optionally from either end to "avoid conflicts". So the idea is that you could assign each of your cards to be used for "recording only", "live tv only", or "both/any". A step further for live tv would be to have some kind of permissions so that you could limit a card to one or more specific frontends. This could also be useful for reducing network traffic by keeping a card available to a local frontend only. </new feature idea> Of course I am just throwing this out as an idea, with the hope that a dev likes it too. ;) -- Joel
