No. Freevo 1.x allows you to watch one program while recording another
but that's it. The recordserver has no ability to use more than one card
to record simultaneously.

That would certainly be welcome. The wiki is horribly out of date. The
devel list is the place to ask to get you started.

Re: [Freevo-users] Video groups and mutliple channels
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.

With mythtv as the backend doing the recordings and freevo as your frontend.

I'm afraid that it's only possible to record from one device at a time
regardless of whether you're watching tv on another device or not. I
haven't looked at the recordingserver code but it should be possible to
add multiple simultaneous recordings if you know python.

[Freevo-users] Video groups and mutliple channels
I'm a MythTV user who is considering moving my system to Freevo. I came across
an issue that might be a deal breaker and want to make sure its not my
misunderstandings and/or prejudice.
Consider this system (which is a simplification of what I have)
* A server with two DVB-S card and one analogue card
* My family has three channels (TV1,TV2 & TV3 {newzealand has creative channel
names ;-) } ) they watch all the time.
* They are available on all three cards but the analogue signal has very bad
reception with lots of ghosting.
What is the best way to setup Freevo?
At least I would like to record any two programs on any of the three channels
using the DVB-S cards.
Ideally I would like to record a third program using the lower quality card.
I can live without watching live TV.
If this isn't possible will version 2.0 be able to do this?
Thanks for your help.
Alan
