Dual Tuner one Cable Box

[cliffodell]

I think i got it figured out last night i set both up to be adaptec video oh and set them to different capture device #'s and i was successfully recording two shows at the same time....I will have to do more checking tonight to make sure.

Thats how we set ours up (#1 & #2); but, still only functions as a single tuner for us.
Let us know the results of your further checking?
What device #s did you use?
Did you set them as "BDA plugin" source or "Direct recording plugin" source?

Schedule two recordings at the same time, then zip and attach your logs and I'll take a look.

What device #s did you use?

It would have to #1 and #2.

Sub,
I'm on this thread from a different machine than BGpvr is running on;
BUT, at this moment we appear to have 4 recordings occurring; we will confirm that they actually recorded in a moment.
(I'll grab the files thereupon).
Meanwhile; let me recite what we did:
We "edited" our 2nd adaptec (#2), reselected the same values as originally,
(Direct Recording Plugin, ZapIt, #2)
resaved that config, and immediately successfully started the aforementioned 4 recordings.

The GBpvr screen freezes, however, when we attempt to "play" one of the partially recorded shows.
Ctrl-Alt-del, stop process, GBpvr.exe; gets us out OK and the 4 shows appear to still be recording.
I'll get on that machine now and try to get the log (i'm a REAL novice but will try).

Yeah, reproduce it and post the logs. You could first try running the included ReRegisterFilters.bat file first though. It may correct the problem.

Just looked at the 4 recordings(3 ended at 8.00 and 1 goes on until 9.00)
all 4 of them are indeed there and all of them can be played.
Will try to capture files at that machine now before making any changes; I assume I can get the log even while the remaining show is recording?

do we capture the log only after we "hang" ?
what is the logs name and location?

Yes, that is the best time to capture them.

what is the logs name and location?

Look at the sticky 'posting support questions' thread.

Here is what I think is wanted:
(1st half of log; we split it to fit it into post)
(Sorry bout that, will get smarter real soon now)
