second tuner card

garethj · 2007-09-25, 02:44 PM

I currently have an ATI 550 TV Tuner card. I'm thinking about adding a second tuner card - if for no other reason than the remote for the ATI is no longer working with the new code and I'm thinking of the Happ. 150.

Are there any issues with mixing brands like that? - Has anyone else done this? Results?

Thanks

I've mixed an ATI 550 pro card with both a Diamond ExtremeTV PVR560 and with a Hauppauge PVR-500 with no problems. The PVR-150 is similar enough to a PVR-500 that it should be fine as well.

Yea... mixing isn't bad. If you have 2 of different makes, they both get Capture Source #1 by the way.

150 and 500 are pretty much the same, 500 just comes up as 2 devices in Device Manager.
