    Hello to all!

    Couple of basic questions about the update roadmap.

    If I have tvh 4.1-2562 (last 4.1-x nightly build from CvH ) running on LE 8, where can I find a fresh build of tvh 4.2 ?

    Or it is no problem to easy update to 4.3-x, all my config will remain and I shoud pass 4.2 and go to 4.3-x ?

    What is the procedure to update tvh from 4.2 (4.1-x) to 4.3 in LE8 ?

    I need to uninstall-install addons (and manualy copy the config) or can just install 4.3 and it will update my 4.1-x ?

    Thank you!


    Yea I guess why not set this value to 64, have to read if it has some downside. Btw have you the possibility to test this (if i made a build)?

    Yes, I have!
    It is simple, no need to have lots of adapters :)
    Just one DVB adapter and try to set different adapter_nr for it and reboot.
    When setting a number higher than 63, for example, 64 - the adapter gets number 0 instead of 64.
    Now it is the case with numbers higher than 31.

    Thank you!


    really ? 4x 8-tuner cards are not enough ? O_o

    Yeah!
    I made a server with 7 cards. It was TBS 6904 and 6905 (quad-cards) back then.

    Now we can install 6 or 7 TBS 6909 octa cards in the standard motherboard.

    And there is extreme server with PCIe splitter and total of 8 PCIe cards. It was setup on OE6 back then with TBS-Crazycat drivers. And max adapter_nr was 64 in that build.

    There is additional reason to have higher numbers available.
    I set adapter numbers from 11 upwards instead of 1 upwards, because in other case adapter number 2 would be after 19 and number 3 - after 29, so card inputs would mix up in the list.

    Now SAT>IP server in tvheadend is working OK, so probably no need to use PCIe splitter, but 6 cards in the server is easy to do and very useful.

    With FBC (Full Base Capture) (or FSC - Full Spectrum Capture) technology - more integration is coming.
    TBS 6909 has 8 demodulators and tuners integrated in the single chip!
    We could see cards with 16 and 32 demodulators in the future.
