Does anybody know whether the MUXes that carry both SD and HD channels can be recorded simultaneously on one tuner or is it one or the other?

I have five tuners on a PC that record Freeview but I have noticed that I have run out of tuners when recording two programmes at the same time on COM7 & COM8.

Thanks

Sorry my post was badly worded, my system only has DVB-T2 tuners.

So as an example. I'm recording 6 programmes at the same time, four on separate muxes and the last two are on COM7, one is SD and the other is HD. Should this work?

My system allows the six records as but when the programmes actually start only the one that starts first on COM7 actually does.

I'm trying to find out if I have a hardware problem or if it won't work in the first place.

It seems to be 4Seven HD that I have had problems with.

It's possible that it's the scheduler as I was setting up yesterday and it seemed to be treating Radio 1 as being on a different Mux from BBC1 and BBC2, I have not had a problem with radio and TV before although most of the radio I record is not on at prime time so there are usually plenty of tuners available.

Are there still problems with Oxford. We were notified of a retune which I've done, one TV appears to have all of the channels and all of the other only have Coms 5, 8 and 9!

The problem is effecting my recording computer I have five tuners and they are all only finding channels on 5,8,9. Have the frequencies for the other COMs changed and if they have do you know what they now are?

My problem appears to be due to my software using a tuning file for the frequencies, if I scan all frequencies then I seem to be finding the missing channels, but it's taking 30 minutes a tuner.

I believe that Com7 is now on channel 55. I've managed to get it tuned on my computer but not on the TV. It's showing a about 80% strength but only intermittently but the quality is 0% even when the strength is up.

Anybody else having problems?
