How to Use 2nd Tuner with Hauppauge PVR 500MCE?

[skinnyguy]

Hi,

I can see 2 tuners in Windows Devices, and also can see 2 tuners when I show the "Show Status" (Recording Status) as Sleeping. When I run the GBPVR app, I can watch TV alright.

But how can I watch or record both tuners simultanesouly? The main GBPVR app doesn't seem to let me pick which tuner I want to watch or record. It seems its by default using only Tuner#2, even though I have 2 Capture Sources already setup. How can I pick which run I want to run the app against?

Thanks.

Did you configure one capture source as device#1, the other as device#2?

Thanks I figured that out. But now I'm still trying to figure out how I can have 2 of 2 tuners recording, but while that's going on, also be able to watch 1 of those 2 channels while its recording, or to be able to go to RECORDINGS pick one of the 2 recording channels and watch it.

When I try either I just get a black screen and have to press <ESC> to get back to the main menu.

You can check in the Pending recordings and watch 1 of the programs that you are currently recording. I do this with the XRECORD plug-in, I forget if the standard Recording feature also do this.

Yes, go into Recordings, and you can watch either of the two as they're recording.
