Feature #3893
Lock available tunners on same adapter
0%
Description
So, lets see if i can express the problem correctly.
Some cards libe TBS only allow to work on dvb-t or dvb-c, and its defined by driver. But there are some open source drivers that allow to have dvb-c and dvb-t at same time.
I have one TBS 6281 that detects 2 adapters, and each adapter has dvb-c and dvb-t.
If i lock dvb-c on adapter0, dvb-t should not be available, and it is, if i try to lock one dvb-t mux it will say bad signal(should say no adapter).
so in my case to work i have like this:
adapter0
- dvb-c enabled
- dvb-t disabled
adapter1
- dvb-c disabled
- dvb-t enabled
this way works, but if i try to lock 2 dvb-c muxes and none dvb-t, um mux will work the other will say no free adapter(like expected, but one adapter that suports dvb-c will not be used).
is there any option to lock entire adapter to bypass this problem?
if you want access to machine i can provide.

Updated by As you cannot connect terrestrial and cable signals at the same time, what would be the use case for this? IIRC this card has an RF in and RF out port.

I can and it works very well.
Im my country we have providers that broadcast in dvb-c, dvb-t and dvb-s.
I have too providers were i live, one for tv that broadcast in dvb-c, and other for internet that broadcast several channels free in dvb-t.
Tbs 6281,is a dual tunner(2xdvb-c or 2xdvb-t), on only one entry( the other is loop out).
But as in screenshot its possible to enable dvb-c and dvb-t at same time.
As i can see several card do this at same time, usually only defined by driver, but can be available at both time.

DVB-C and DVB-T use same frequencies. Perhaps, you're using a coaxial source which have muxes from C/T "merged" ? Could you describe what you have available through your coax cable ? It's not an usual configuration and it's expected that only DVB-T or DVB-C can be used.

yes, thats correct, i have merged dvb-c and dvb-t on same coaxial(from 2 diferente providers) cable, because my cards only have one RF IN.
atm this works on tvh very well, the only problem is i have to dedicate adapter0 to dvb-c and adapter1 to dvb-t(same card), but if im only streaming dvb-c(exemple), and try to streem another dvb-c(diferente mux), it will give me no free adapter, and adapter1 is free, but not enabled for dvb-c.
adapter0
- dvb-c enabled
- dvb-t enabled
adapter1
- dvb-c enabled
- dvb-t enabled
and try to stream 2 dvb-c muxes, works well, but if i try to streem another dvb-t mux it will give me bad signal( should give no free adapter).
my sugestion is if possible to implement an option to lock by adapter, for instance if adapter0 dvb-c is streaming , adapter0 dvb-c is unavailable(because beeing used) and dvb-t lists as available(should be listed as unavaiable too), to if someone try to stream dvb-t , that adapter is not free.
i have a card with 4 tunners, only one RF IN, and the same happens.
