    Well, they constantly keep communicating (better than any other outfit), but I think they have perhaps found Arm, E2 and customer expectations (partly through their own Marketing hype) a bigger learning curve than they expected

    Looks like PLS Combo is a hardware issue. Silabs not capable apparently. So far only one transponder transmitting in this mode.

    Yes, too bad about that.

    I quickly tested vtuner and was able to record from the single DVB-C tuner in the third slot and also DVB-C from a remote box, both recordings ok now.

    1. VTuner Support increased to 8 (VTuner: virtual USB Tuner)
    -> Info: Total simultaneous 11 Tuner Support!
    Still does not support simultaneous tuners for me.

    Tuner 1-2 DVB-S2 dual tuner slot 1

    Tuner 3 DVB-C single tuner use slot 2

    Tuner 4 Sundtek DVB-C USB tuner

    Tuner 5 Sundtek DVB-S2 USB tuner

    So 5 tuners in total all working individually.

    I tried on OpenVix 014 with new driver manually installed and OpenATV of today with new driver.

    My testing method is as follows:-

    1. Start recording 1 channel

    2. Change channel to a different transponder and start another recording, both recordings at this point progress normally.

    3. Change channel again to a different transponder and channel shows ok but the problem is that one of the recordings stops recording at that time.

    So at the moment this seems to me that is 'simultaneous' tuner use is still not working!

    Anyone else tried this feature ?

    As far as I can tell, there have been 2 driver updates since 5.0.014, and are in the latest 5.0.016 image.
