Can you please share your results when you have tried it out ? This is the combination I would also like to set up ;-)

Cheers,

Hello,

Well, I ran two instances of ScanChannelsBDA and it "sort of" worked with both tuners at the same time. There were occassions when both tuners were locked and receiving information, and other times when one of them would seem to take priority over the other.

GB-PVR seems happy enough to list both of them in capture sources, but I tried setting up BBC1 and BBC2 on the Nova-T stick, BBC3 and BBC4 on the HVR900.

Live TV lets me tune to BB1 & 2, but when I try to change to BBC3 or 4 I get "Failed to locate configured BDA capture device".

I'm not sure which device number they should get. At the moment Nova-T is 1 and HVR900 is 2.

------------

Update: set both tuners to device 1. When in EPG if I select BBC 4 (HVR) the recording status shows the HVR go to LivePreview, then the main prog says "Failed to locate..." and the recording status of the HVR goes back to sleeping.

Something's talking to something in there!

I'm pretty sure with these specific devices all your capture sources should be set to #1. You only need to increase the device number if there is multiple device with the same driver name.

Hi sub,

I think you are correct. I have set them both to device 1, and whilst the problem of not being able to skip between devices in "Live TV" persists, I have been able to set GB-PVR to record from BBC4 (HVR) while I watch BBC2 in live TV.

I'll mess about with this some more and prepare a report of how I get on.

Hi,

Well last night I configured all channels on both USB sticks. They were then set to record two programmes both beginning at 2230 and the recordings were successful.

Out of interest, has anyone tried two Nova-T sticks in one GBPVR system. The HVR900 isn't mine, I just have a loan of it from a friend. The Nova-T's are usually much cheaper.

Thanks

Yes, I tried two Nova-T sticks and they wouldn't work together, the drivers didn't support multiple devices.

Things might be different now as the drivers have changed but I would check with Hauppauge before buying.
