I eagerly like to learn to easy way :)
A street-block, the street where I live, wants to offer 15 channels for
10 days to participants.
So when my neighbour would tell me today that he saw a very interesting
documentary 3 days ago on channel .. which was originally aired at
..:.., when I am at work, and didn't recognize as interesting, would
simply be able to watch.

The idea is that we, the 100 participants, have a satelite-dish for 4
satelites with each a quad-lnb which gives us the possibility to record
from 4 x 4 transponders with each 4 - 6 FTA channels.

So we have the possibility to choose from 4 x 4 x 5 = 80 channels.
But then each individual had to schedule what he or she wants.

I'm pretty confident we can agree on 15 channels, rather homogenious
group of viewers.
If those 15 channels are continuously recorded over a period of 16hours
a day, everyone always has everything he/she wants.

Those 100 participants will be connected with each other and share 1
parallel-filesystem as used in grid-computing.

So recording only once for everybody.

I'm open/looking/hoping for a simpler way.:)

Re: Continuous recording the way live-tv does [In reply to]

It sounds like what you want is an easy way to record everything on a
given channel. Take a look at this thread:
http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/engine?do=post_view_flat;post=330486;page=1;mh=-1;list=mythtv;sb=post_latest_reply;so=ASC

This guy wanted to achieve the same thing. He setup a power search to
record everything on a channel, but was having some performance issues
with the scheduling. We discussed ways he could create a dynamic power
search to simplify what the scheduler had to deal with at any given
moment. We discuessed some of the pros and cons...some of the
roadblocks he might run into. I believe he posted back some initial
success, but I don't believe he followed up with further results.
