Hey guys,
Let me just say thanks ahead of time for the rapid response that you all give with problems people have. It is actually amazing at the rate you all get back to people.
I had a WinTV350 and bought a 150 so I could watch and record or record two different shows at once.
I did a clean install of the app to the latest .12 after installing the new card as well. I went in and setup the new card in the config util and assigned it to #2. I gave it the same settings as the 350 and then went to see what was working.
Actually nothing was working. I would try to watch live TV and it would just flicker a couple of times and then go back to the main menu. I could watch previously recorded shows.
I just have analog cable and I put a splitter at the wall and ran the cable to both cards.
I guess my first question is this: Do I need to run a splitter for my S-video and run both cards s-video to the TV? I would rather use the 350 for my playback but I am assuming if it is busy recording that it would want to playback on the 150 and there wouldn't be a way for that to work without a splitter. (that is unless I am just not seeing the big picture here...which can be the case)
I played around the numbering by putting both cards as #1 but read in a post that since my cards are basically from the same family that I will want to number them 1, 2, etc.. So I put the 350 as #2 and the 150 as #1. I did get live television this time but now I am getting some weird problems.
I had two shows to be recorded at both times. One show was recording but it was under the name of the other one. The other recording was just 12 seconds of black screen. I checked all the other recordings that happened yesterday and last night and they were all blank and only for 12 seconds.
Now at this point I just wanted to be able to record 24 tonight so I removed the 150 out of the config and set the 350 to #1 and it won't work now was well.
So at this point I am going to try to pull it all down at work with VNC and reinstall again and just hope my problems have gone away....but any pointers you all may have would be greatly appreciated.
