Recording using 2 tuner cards

[fldavem]

Perhaps someone can help me:
I have a PVR-150 and a Emuzed Maui card. Both are supported by GB-PVR I think.

1. How do I know which card is used for recordings and which is used for live tv? Can I control this? I'm asking, cause I suspect the PVR-150 is a better card, so I'd want that as the "primary" if possible.
   
2. For disk management and space efficiency, can I have each of the tuner cards store the video (recorded or live) to different directories or disks? In other words, can I have tuner card #1 record to G:/PVR and card #2 record to F:/PVR?
   

Thanks,

Dave

Generally you get no control over which card is used, but for recordings it favors the top of the capture source list, and live tv favors the bottom of the capture source list. If you set up you PVR150 first, then it'll be the preferred recording device and the Maui will be the preferred live tv device.

No you cant.

sub: Thanks for the quick reply. You have truly created a work of art!!! And thanks for encouraging all those plug-ins, they really provide for awsome expansion and configuration.

Thanks again,

Arhhhhhhhhhhh. That explains a lot I'd added some satellite channels and tested them on live TV and they always worked, but the recordings always failed with just a noisy image.
When they were added by the EPG, they went to both "tuners", the 1st was analogue RF and the 2nd was the STB Fixed RF both on the same pvr150. Unticking the RF channel list fixed it, although it took a day or so to sort out and the logs showed what was happening (should have looked there first!).
