Hi folks,
atm I'm running a single seat setup with one DVB-S2 tuner. Anytime soon I plan to build a real tv server with at least two or three DVB-S2 tuners .. I know that tvheadend supports more than one tuner; I'm more interested in how will tvheadend & xbmc handle multiple tuners in daily use. Will tvheadend detect which channels are identical and "group" them to one "virtual" channel ? Or will I have as much channels as tuners, so for example 3 times CNN ? And what happens if I mix different broadcasting tuners - for example one DVB-S, DVB-T and DVB-C ?
How will it be handled if I start a recording and watching another channel - is that transparent / in background in a way, the user - for example the wife ;-) - won't notice that ?
Thanks for enlightment ;-)
