Ok ive seen this covered in a previous post but i couldnt really get what the post was describing to work. Basically whats goin on is i have a pvr-150 and a pvr-350 and they are both setup for analog as default but when i schedule a recording it records svideo for some reaosn but that is a seperate issue. When i get that issue cleared up i was wondering if it is possible to when i tune to my digital channels (180-212) if i can have it switch to svideo. For some reason even when i have svideo setup as default input and i set to record a digital channel the name of the show comes up like it was recorded but it doesnt get recorderd and i would like to keep analog as i record more shows from analog tv.

You have a complicated setup. I think what you need to do is have two seperate "video sources" in mythtv-setup. One should only include the digital channels and the other should only be the analog channels. The digital "video source" is of corse connected to the s-video input and the analog source to the tuner. Then when you schedule a recording mythtv will beable to use the correct input on the pvr-150/350.

ok so what your saying is regardless of what the default input is set to if i set up the sources and inputs properly myth will determine what input to record? in other words if i set a Analog source to lets say channesl 1-10 and digital to 11-20 and i assign analog to the tuner and the digital to svideo myth will auto determine what input to be on?

Wouldn't be much use if it didn't... You do have to get the mappings right via the "input connections" under mythtv-setup, but once you've got that sorted out, it should just do the right thing. You can even prioritize the cards with a preference score so that if one makes better recordings that one will be used whenever possible.

i tried it and it worked out this also fixed what i thought was an unrelated problem where it was always recording svideo. This is basically one of the last big steps to getting knoppmyth working properly and i am very happy with the results so far. The last thing i gotta do before i am completly happy is get this stupid ir blaster working lol. Thanks for both your help and suggestions!!!

after some more testing it seems that i can only record digital channels if i hit watch live tv then set myth to the digital channel witch tunes to the input and labels the recording properly. If i schedule a digital recording and set my settop to the channel it needs to be on it doesnt record any thing and makes myth lock up for a couple seconds when i go to delete the file. Any suggestions does this mean i need a change channel script?
