1) Is there a way to record two different channels (same transponder) using commandline ?

I'm asking couse somehow i can' get it work for Me.
I'm trying to record two channels (first recording starts at 2 am and should end at 6am the second one should start 5.30 am)
I know I shoud use startpiprecord... but somehow when I try to record when the second recording starts the first is interrupted (both seem to start in main window not in pip windows)

Could someone post exact step by step instruction?

2) What is in Your opinion the best pci-express based tuner to use with DD for HD channels in Europe?

From Help:

Multi-record:

dvbdream.exe /startpiprec_chname='RAI2@0130' (Starts pip record on the current transponder)

dvbdream.exe /startpiprec_chno=8

dvbdream.exe /stoppiprec_chname='RAI2@0130' (Stops pip record)

dvbdream.exe /stoppiprec_chid=524

dvbdream.exe /stoppiprec_chno=8

dvbdream.exe /startrecordall (Records all the channels on the current transponder)

dvbdream.exe /stoprecordall (Stops all records)

Notes:

* Don't forget that if channel name includes space char, surround it with quotes. (e.g. 'TV 4')

* You could use dvbdream.exe straight away for cmdline params but this would be slow when changing channels and volume etc, due to exe size/loading delay. (so possible to use also dvbdream.exe /fullscreen)

* Multi-record functions should be used in seperate command lines.

* You can't start DD with multi-record cmd line options. They should be used after tuning to a channel initially. But you can use /startrecordall switch at startup like in the following example:

dvbdream.exe /chname='RAI1@0130' /startrecordall
