I've got a lot of reminders set up, & occasionaly I get conflicts - I ought to spot these & deal with them, but I don't always.

My question is kind of two fold:

1/ is there a way to get a report out of digiguide listing conflicts - I've tried, but haven't succeeded - but then I'm not hugely up on customising it - mostly it works the way I want

2/ as a fall back, is there an option from within DABDIG to hold off firing a new recording on the same device if one is still running (I'm using a Nebula). This way, atleast you don't lose the end of the 1st programme - My wife gets a little annoyed when the last 15mins are missing!!

ta,

James

Yes - in the Find box at the top of the DigiGuide screen ... type (without the quotes) ":dabdigr"

Then make sure that your resulting search reply is sorted by date/time (click on column heading - or right click on heading to add extra columns and allow sorting)


2/ as a fall back, is there an option from within DABDIG to hold off firing a new recording on the same device if one is still running (I'm using a Nebula). This way, atleast you don't lose the end of the 1st programme - My wife gets a little annoyed when the last 15mins are missing!!

For Nebula DigiTV ... assuming you are using a relatively recent version of their software (last 10 months or so) then ... I do not need to stop DigiTV to enter a recording into its queue.

Try setting (in dabdig.ini) NebulaDigiTVAllowForceExit=0 and see what happens.

I am putting in some more general code to handle overlaps ... but Nebula are planning to add extra code to support recording more than one channel from the same mux at the same time.
