NPVR status reports hardware which is not present in settings

[meep]

Hi

I've been using nextPVR as an XBMC backend and have been successfully using a Digital Devices PCIe Octopus with Duflex S2 expansion card to provide 2x DVB-S2 tuners. This all works well.

This week, I've added a DuoFlex C/T expansion card to add a couple of digital terrestrial tuners.

When I access NextPVR Settings -> Devices, the DVB-T tuners show up as not present. However, if I right click on the npvr icon in system tray and choose show status, all 4 tuners (2x DVB-S and 2x DVB-T) tunrs show in the pop-up window.

Any idea why a device will show up OK in status but not report as present in settings?

Thanks

Peter

Have you tried uninstalling/reinstalling the drivers? Can't find any other posts concerning your tuner hardware.

Thanks Zeb

Tried that several times. I've tried a few other PVR apps and they don't report the C/T card either. It's just odd that the status window in NextPVR reports it fine but it's reported Not Present in settings.

It's a really interesting solution: a single PCIe card that supports up to 4x daughter cards, each with twin tuners and you can get DVB-S / C T variants so you can have up to 8 tuners using a single slot.

I've been in touch with the manufacturers and they think it might be a bad cable or a power issue so a bit more testing for me this evening....

Thanks again
