</div></div>AFAIK, and if you are willing to look at the MySQL channels table, you can<br>
check the "mplexid" field. I believe that any channels that have the same<br>
multiplexid should be able to be recorded on a single tuner. This field,<br>
and the entire channels table is visible using mythweb, if you go to the<br>
channel editor portion of the settings.<br>
</blockquote></div><br>Thanks!<br><br>My HDHR is handled by a slave backend and I had restarted that but not the master. After I restarted the master 4 new tuners popped up and it's now going to record Heroes, House and How I Met Your Mother all at the same time tonight!<br>
<br>I was a little bit worried about that as those channels are 8.1, 17.1 and 3.1 respectively and that didn't seem to match up with what Richard said but when I checked the database I can see that 8.1 and 3.1 are on the same multiplex so all is (or should be) well.<br>
<br>Thanks for adding this feature!<br>
