multi tuner setup - no howto?! so, please help me! :) (lets compose howto)

[lif]

I searched wiki and forum, collected piece from there and there and... still stuck.

I guess I'm not the first one here with such an issue, but lets give guidelines to other ones

Situation: GB-PVR v.latest. Used with updates about 1,5 years. Perfect! Used 1 tuner PVR-150. (model HAU-1056). Last week purchased finally HVR-1300 (HAU-1113) and hence to problems began. At first, found from forums that I need to use as Hauppauge Roslyn the analog part and as Hauppauge Nova-T 90002 as digital DVB-T part. The first time I was stuck in GBPVR logics! So first FAQ point:

*) I already have defined PVR150 as capture source #1 (named: PVR150). Now, to define HVR1300, does I need to define it as capture source #2 and #3 or could I merge new tuner(s) with existing capture source. Why? Because these two physical cards share the same rooftop antenna. Soma same channels are broadcasted as analog and digital, some only as analogue.

In GBPVR config there is no option to define additional capture to existing source. In my logics, should be. If I'm defining new capture sources then I must also define new channels and EPG and so on. But these I already have working so, needs to add new tuner to existing source. Or how?

*) DBA defining as new capture source works and detects card as Nova-T 90002 but scans for no channel info (I guess poor signal quality, so have to go on roof with ice and snow to install new cables).

*) Defined new analogue source, Hauppauge Roslyn. But checking checkbox (detected devices only) shows only already defined PVR150. So, no success with second analogue tuner. When forced it into config and defined same channel names I've got such a thing in logs:

In logs it shows this:

I would draw your attention to line 21:00:02.765. Why GBPVR don't match tehre?

Ok, help me getting working HVR1300 and I'll be happy again

The PVR150 will (still) be device #1.

The Hauppauge Rosyln should be device #1.

The Nova-T should be device #1.

The device numbers only increase when you've got multi devices sharing the same filter names.
