The idea was to enable both recording and viewing at the
same time when
more than one tuner is installed. But of course then need
use the same
stream type, such as two composite or two DVB tuners.

Can't quite remember, 1.6 I think.

Better only to have one as it may allow to change the
channel when
recording, not really something that you want to do.

I think somewhere on the way, the mark has been missed.  The
whole
purpose of having 2 video input devices is to record one
program while
viewing another.  Now to hear that one tuner is best is
beyond
disheartening.

Currentyl, I'm at another location, setting up Freevo for a
friend and
am now experiencing the exact same problem I recently had
myself: the
system is trying to view the same device as the one which is
recording.
 At this point, though, I have no idea where to begin other
than
tracing logs and comparing to my own set-up which is nearly
identical.

If this is a real problem, a solution needs to be found and
fast.  Does
anyone have a dual-tuner set up that actually works while
recording?
