Some Newbie questions

[JayRx1981]

I couldn't find the answers to this in any of the wiki pages, so I figured I'd give it a shot and ask here.

I recently purchased a WinTV PVR-USB2 and installed GBPVR (since I like it's interface better than the included Hauppauge software) and discovered that I can't watch one channel and record another using the device I purchased. So, since I still have a few bucks left, I figured I'd just get a second cheapo tuner card to watch live TV with while the first one is used to digitally record all my favorite shows. My questions are,
a) *can* the one I've got already do both and I'm just seriously missing something here, and
b) if not, do I have to use two of the exact same card with GBPVR (like you do with BeyondTV) to watch one while I record the other, or will any TV tuner do (if all I wanna do with the second is watch LiveTV and pause it when I need to).

Thanks.

a) nope
b) no you dont need the exact same card, but you still need to use a hardware based card (one listed on the front page, the 150mce is a cheap good card), or you could try the WDM software solution in the hardware forum, but that said its not fully supported and is only a work around, so i still recommend the 150mce (or just the pvr150)
