I like to have 1 minute of pre-roll on some of my Sky recordings, so<br>
that I do not miss the beginnings of programs, and usually at least 1<br>
minute of post-roll too so as not to miss the endings. That is<br>
causing problems as I only have one S-Video input from my PVR-500 ivtv<br>
card connected to my Sky decoder, and it seems that MythTV is not<br>
recording both programs when the pre/post roll causes overlapped<br>
times.</blockquote><div><br>If you set the pre/post-roll in the setup (Settings -> Setup -> TV Settings -> General -> General (Advance) as opposed to setting them for a specific recording and two shows go head-to-toe, MythTV is cleaver enough to start and stop the show on time, and not record the pre/post-roll.<br>
<br>If you set the pre/post-roll for the actual recording, then MythTV will enforce that the pre/post-roll be recorded, and consider it a conflict (and based on your rules not record one show)<br> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">
It would be nice if I could just get it to record two programs<br>
at the same time when there is overlap. Is there some setup somewhere<br>
that I have missed that will make this work? Would going into the<br>
database manually and setting the option for multirec to 2 work?<br></blockquote><div><br>That won't work. See below.<br> <br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">
I guess I could get a second SCART cable and connect the second<br>
PVR-500 tuner, since it is not used for anything, but SCART cables are<br>
expensive. Can you get Sky to give you a second one?<br></blockquote><div><br>That unfortunately won't work since the Sky decoder can only show one channel at a time. A second scart cable will only mean that you will one show twice. The only way around this is to rent a second Sky decoder.<br>
