Twin channel line-up ?

[Box8489]

Dear experienced user,
Is this possible:
I would like to have two equal channel line-ups on two different tuner cards.
I’m looking for the possibility where I choose which tuner card, should be used to record a show.
Something like: “primary use the Hauppauge card but if it is or going to be busy, (recording a show) then please use the second (not so good) tuner card.”
Wow – quite hard to explain: Iwant to control which card to be used. Do you understand my point ?

I have my two tuner cards installed.
Using the multiple line-up importer from Nielm: http://forums.sage.tv/forums/showthr...9299#post39299
Using two epg files, named 1.xml and 2.xml. They have exactly the same content. (grabbed two times and copied to the sage directory with two different file names)
I have been setting the channel frequencies in the registry, like described here: http://www.snapstream.com/community/...s/customorder/
And thought: If I created the TV channel two times (two different DWORDS) with the same frequency – could be DWORD 1 and 21,
Then remapping, in SageTv Channel setup (tuner card #1), TV channel #1 (DR1) to “Different channel number” = 1
And remapping tuner card#2, to “Different channel number” =21 – then I was expecting to see the same TV channel (DR1) two times in the “Program guide”
But No, only one appears.

If I map e.g. TV channels 1-5 to XMLTV line-up #1 and the channel 6-10 to XMLTV line-up #2 – I have all 10 channels in the program guide (spread over the two cards)

Any clues are very welcome:

You can do this by setting the "encoder_merit" property in the sage.properties file (see page 218 in the Sage Manual for more details).
