    issue with recording 2 channels simultaneously

    Technomate TM-Nano-SE Plus - with standard installation skin
    Plugin: CrossEPG

    Hi, I am having a problem with recording 2 channels at the same time, the problem started after upgrading from V 5.3.030. when the receiver immediately reported Record Timer conflicts if there were 2 recordings sheduled at the same time.
    I tried manually recording by putting one channel into record, then selecting a different channel and placing that in record. the second channel refused to record stating there was a conflict with the channel already in record.
    At this point I decided I would try a fresh installation without installing the backup file from v5.3.030, this worked perfectly for a few days until I accidentally switched the receiver power off which caused the issue to return. I had performed a settings after first installation so I restored this which repaired the fault.
    I decided to test the power down situation once more which immediately returned the fault. With all previous versions I have always been able to power down without any issues.
    I don't want to have to keep doing settings backups every time I add or remove timers. So I am left with either returning to version 5.3.030, or running with 5.3.039 until the next update is out to see if the issue is resolved. Unless of course anyone has found a fix, or workaround for this bug.

    Many thanks in advance, itstelboy

    Very sorry! I forgot to enter the tuner info!

    2 tuners
    Both Tuner A and Tuner B are set to:

    Mode: single
    Satellite: 28.2 Astra 2E/2F/2G
    Send DiSEqC: no
    Force legacy signal stats: no

    I have only ever used it on Sky 28.2 so have always configured the tuners as above.

    Many thanks for getting back to me, I will be glad to supply any further info you require.
    Kind regards, itstelboy

    Do you have signal wires attached to both tuners?

    Are you using Timeshift automatically?

    Hi thank you for getting back to me, yes I have independant LNB feeds from the dish to both tuners, and Timeshift is not enabled.

    Cheers, itstelboy

    ....Streaming clients: Menu/Information/Streaming Clients

    If your box is open to the internet, it would explain why switching it off clears the problem for a while.

    I had a weird problem a few days ago that was perhaps somewhat similar.

    I was finding that when a recording was being made the tuner being used for the recording could not be used for anything else at the same time, not even for watching the same channel live.

    I think it must have been because I'd been experimenting with the background scanning and namespace sub network settings under Tuner / Miscellaneous.

    I think things went back to normal when I put the settings back to their defaults:

    Yes there are other settings on that page that I don't have set to the defaults and that seems to be fine.
    However the background scanning and namespace sub network settings are now back to their defaults.

    Hi, No there are no further devices streaming, just the receiver feeding my lounge TV.

    Cheers!

    .... hopefully, the OP can see what the defaults actually are from post #11. Once a value has been changed it can be very difficult to work out what the default ever was.

    If he has changed any of those settings, it might be worth changing them back to the defaults.

    Hi ccs,
    I must admit I've not tried changing any settings in "Miscellaneous" - Just checked mine and they are slightly different to yours, mine are as set after a clean install. I will try a few changes and see if it cures my problem. When wife's recording permit!
