Here is the filter log file.

I do have a copy of Vista Ultamate but I will need to get a new drive to put it on my current boot drive does not have the room.

Thank you everyone for all the help.

Here is one thing I tried.
With all three cards installed I can disable card three in device manager uninstall NPVR and reinstall it and the two enabled cards will work properly.

Ocer,

I had the same problems with the same pin errors last year when I was attempting to add a second HVR-1600 tuner. I had very similar specs as your PVR build, including WinXP SP3. You can find the entire thread at:

Here is a quoted entry that I posted last year on how I fixed the issue permanently:

"I think I have the problem solved. I found another posting from another user who had a similar problem using 2 of the same card (other than a Hauppuage 1600). This person recommended that you use the HWClear utility from Hauppuage (I ran it twice, once to "Remove WinTV INF files" and once to "Remove All WinTV Driver Files"), roboot the computer, and then allow Windows to reinstall the drivers from the WinTV CD drivers folder. From that point, I rescanned both the Analog and QAM channels on both cards (did not allow nPVR to "copy" the channel information for either). Then I set 2 shows from the QAM channel range and 2 shows from the Analog channel range to record for 1/2 hour each). I repeated the process of setting 4 simultaneous shows to record 3 sepate times this evening, each time after a reboot, to make sure the old problem did not come back between reboots--it did NOT come back. After I was convinced that the scanned digital QAM channels and scanned analog channels worked correctly, I did a channel merge (my analog channels were all listed twice), and am currently recording 4 simultaneous shows again. My next step is to make a backup copy of the npvr.db3, or maybe the entire NPVR folder, and do another reboot, and repeat the whole 4-program recording cycle again).

I believe part of my original problem stemmed from the fact that I started with 1 HVR-1600 installed, installed the drivers with just that one card present, performed the channel scans with just that one card present, and then attempted to add the second HVR-1600 after the drivers had already been installed and then let nPVR "copy" all of my channel information."

Best of Luck,

Patrick
