does or will emby support virtual tuners? 

 

an entire subset/frequency recorded and/or watched only using one tuner. while tuner 2 can be used to record and/or watch a different subset/frequency.

 

i recorded 2 shows at once using emby on the same frequency/subset, but both tuners were used.

I hope it can be done as well I have tried mediaportal and it does exactly that hopefully emby can someday look at it.

Sounds like a feature that would need to be supported by both the hardware and the API to it.

 

With MP is this using an HDHR tuner?

Doubtful, it sounds like a DVB-C tuner

yes,with an hdhr using mediaportal or nextpvr a user can record and/or watch the entirety of different subsets/frequencies for each tuner.

the actual name of the feature is called multichannel decryption.

their is a small amount of info on this page http://wiki.team-mediaportal.com/4_HTPC/HTPC_Hardware/TV_Cards?highlight=multichannel

it says mediaportal does not support the feature, but it appears the page has not been updated in a while. i have used mediaportal and it performs this feature.

should i post a topic in the feature request forum for this feature?

Not entirely correct, because Emby cannot decrypt/receive scrambled or copy protected channels.

But multi-reception of free channels is in general already possible with a HDHomerun.

I think every tv backend but WMC (not sure about this) can do this. Here's a good explanation about this topic https://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Multirec
