dual digital tuner capture source setup question

[fdm225]

Hi,
I have a HVR-2250 card and I am trying to set it up to use both digital tuners and none of the analog tuners. So I in config.exe under the "Capture Sources" tab I have two Tuners (Tuner-1 & Tuner-2) setup. My question is when I setup the digital recording plugin would have a device number of 1 for both sources or would Tuner-1 have device number 1 and tuner-2 have device number 2? Reason I ask is I have tried it both ways and am still getting conflicts.

Thanks,
dave
ps. sorry if this has been covered but I searched the forum and went through the 2250 threads but could not find anything that specifically spoke about this.

You'd need capture sources with device #1 and device #2.

so here is the weird thing. I setup my 1 card with 2 tuners, each with a different device number but when I schedule two simultaneous recordings I see both of them record only on Tuner 2. So I am still totally confused.

Thanks,

Reproduce the problem, then zip and attach the logs and I'll take a look.

here you go, two recordings on one device. and the strange thing is that it looks as if it was successful.

Did the files get created? What size were they?

[fdm225]

created and they work. I just see them both being recorded off of the same tuner at the same time.

Thats because you have multi-record enabled, any both of these channels were available on the same frequency. This is a feature, not a bug. You can disable multi-record if you want to force it to use both tuners.

ahh, ok. so if I will try with two different channels.
