I tried this with VDR 1.5.13 (AFAICS there was no change regarding VPS recordings in vdr.c since 1.4.7) by programming 4 recordings on 2 transponders, all with VPS. I had to increase the VPS margin to have them all within the VPS margin, but the live channel was never switched away.
What will happen it there was a third VPS recording already running on a third transponder?
BTW: Meanwhile i did not see that "switching away" again.
Does your system have 3 DVB-S cards? You wrote "DVT-S", so I'm wondering if this was just a typo.
I have 3 FF-DVB-S on one LNB and one DVB-T
but i found that the 1350Ghz AMD Duron "K7S8XE+" is overlaoded with 3 simlutanions recordings.
Too i found that channel hopping on 1.4.7 so noticable slower than 1.4.3 but that may be a DVB-driver problem too as i run a 2.6 kernel now which has a known worser memory performance than 2.4.
Too i see a noticable delay/skew between cursor movement and selection. (i press "down", the cursor left moves 200ms later to next line, the higlight right moves approc. 300ms delayed.)
Can all your DVB-S cards be tuned independent of each other? IIRC you're using the "lnb sharing" patch, which might interfere here.
Ooops.. does VPS (now) cause channel switching as EGP scan? That would not be good because i currently use the unpatched orginal debian/elchi package because "baking" patches under debian is not very easy to automate. (OK, on vertical are only the garbage programs like RTL+ which do not support VPS and are not worth recording)
