I will soon have two DVB-C tuners at my disposal and I was thinking of doing an experiment. I have a friend who uses XBMC and I was thinking of having his PVR addon use my server as backend (over the Internet). That way we could both watch cable TV "natively", even though for his part everything happens over the Internet.
My concern is how to make tvheadend use both tuners at once? I read somewhere that I'm supposed to map the corresponding services on both tuners to the same channels, then tvheadend will automatically subscribe clients to the free adapter. Does anyone know if this approach actually works?
Another idea I had was to run two instances of tvheadend, but at least according to their website it's not possibly to change the listening ports. On the other hand there are some accounts on the internet of people who successfully run two instances of it. Does anyone know if this is possible?
Before you ask "why the hell would you want to do that" the reason is my friend has DVB-T and I have DVB-C. Plus it's mostly for the lulz.
