<div class="gmail_quote"><div><br>This is not what I see. I have a SkyStar 2 for Freeview and a PVR150 for Sky output and MythTV always favors the SkyStar 2 over the PVR150 as that's what I've told it to do. Here are a few things to check:<br>

I've done a similar thing, but my DVB-S cards are set to +5 and PVR to 0, so should be the same result.<br> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">
<div class="gmail_quote"><div><br><br>* Channel setup. Each copy of a particular channel should have the same callsign. If you want only one copy to appear in the guide then they should also have the same channel number. To load EPG data properly they should probably have the same xmltvid.</div>
</div></blockquote><div><br>I started off doing a similar thing (so that I could record FTA analog
channels, but now with multirecord available on the DVB-S cards there
seems little point recording the same channels on analog/DVB-S).<br>

* EPG data - for best results make sure all copies of a particular
channel get their data from the same source. Otherwise you might find
that analogue channel 2 has "Scrubs" while DVB channel 2 has "All New
Scrubs" and that will prevent the scheduler using whichever one doesn't
match the title in the recording rule. This is true even if both copies of the channel have the same callsign - the scheduler still requires the EPG data to match (this is because in the US channels sometimes have minor differences, e.g. local news or programs inserted so two copies of the same channel may not be exactly the same).</div>
</div></blockquote><div> </div><div>Again should be no problem as only the DVB-S cards share channels and
the analog cards share Prime/Trackside (which obviously aren't shared
by the DVB-S cards). <br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"><div class="gmail_quote"><div><br>You can get this to work properly - if it's using the analogue cards by preference then you have something in your setup that is causing that to happen.

</div></blockquote><div><br> Thanks I'll have a look. Not so worried about the preference issue at this stage, but more the blank recordings when I schedule a recording. But might read teh above to change the preference (so at least I can access the DVB-S for Live TV) <br>
