Concurrent DVB-C and DVB-S and DVB-T

[Cafe.Rcaer]

Hi - you could only have one DVB-T and one DVB-C under Premium. Annoyingly you'll also need an analogue card if you want to get the 14 day guide. If your DVB-T is a dual tuner hybrid, use one as DVB-T and one as Analogue.

Right now, the only thing I can tell you, is to put all the cards in and run through the TV setup! Set the analogue card up first (someone else does this with another DVB-C card) and tell it you have a STB box conected, run through the steps (I've done this without a STB connected, so just answer positively to all the questions.) This will get you the downloaded guide, and set the channel numbers correctly.

Next I would do the DVB-C card (at the end of the setup wizard it'll allow you to "add another card"), you'll need your transponders setup in the registry. It will take a long time to scan.

Then do the DVB-T card.

Where the channel names match EXACTLY, VMC will combine sources for you. So if the downloaded guide has "Channel Four", the DVB-C channel scans as "Channel Four" and the freeview channel is "Channel Four", all the sources will be aligned in the guide. Go to the guide, highlight the channel, press "i" and choose edit channel, go to edit sources and you'll see all the cards listed.

Unfortunately, they won't all match. "Channel 4" and "Channel Four" are a good example.

There is another post somewhere that I did that explains how to use Autostore and how to manually combine the channels. Takes a long time though...

I happen to be rescanning, so I've done screenshots - this is the setup process, using an Analogue for the guide, and 2xFireDTV with the MCE Drivers.

Doesn't include sorting/combining channels, I'll do that in the next couple of days.

Edit: bugger, it's a 1.3 Mb rar file, looks like I'll have to make it smaller...or do a thread with the images in...

Right, I've done it - there's a trick to it, it seems to be selecting the freeview tuner first, on its own, then selecting the FDTV-C and then going through a combining channels. I'll add some screens to that other thread, I think.
