PVR 500 second tuner issue

[tnkrtrn]

I'm not sure if this is the right place to post this issue because I don't think the problem lies with gbpvr but with my card. When something records on the second tuner it records it in black and white and kinda fuzzy. I've tried reinstalling the drivers and rebooting the server but nothing. It still records in black and white and fuzzy. I'm wondering if anyone else has come across this issue or if you might be able to point me in the right direction to resolve this issue. I never installed any of the Haupaugee software so I'm not sure if there are any troubleshooting progs included.

Are you sure you selected the PVR-500 as the second tuner, in config?
I made the same mistake. Set up the first as a 500, and just clicked over setting up the second, and it defaults to a 150.

the other important piece of information to include is: what video source are you using and how is it hooked up? Are you recording analog cable on both tuners using coax? or something else?

(although if reboot's hunch is right, disregard and good luck!)

I made sure that the PVR-500 was selected as the second tuner in config. I was kinda hoping I hadn't but no such luck.

As far as my setup goes I have my server with the PVR-500 on it and two MediaMVP's. My video source is one coax plugged into the card right from the wall. I've got analog cable so it's a pretty simple setup.

I've also done a bit more troubleshooting. First I thought maybe the signal wasn't strong enough so that when it started recording two shows one of the tuners would get a weak signal. So I put in a amplifier and that didn't change anything. Then in config I reversed the source1 and source2 and that confirmed that my second capture source is screwed up because then when I'd watch live tv through the PVR-500 it was in black and white and a bit fuzzy. I think my card (or at least one of the tuners) might be screwed up. Damm.

Nice job of troubleshooting!
It's too bad, but I agree with your diagnosis.
