Have a Hauppauge 250 & 1600 and no I did not have success....
With the 1600 if the 250 was present in the Config it would ruin the first scheduled recording of the day.... I've since sent it back and got the Qam version of the 1600, but I've yet to set it up in GB-PVR again. Instead I installed Yahoo Go TV and Media portal and am deciding which one to use the 1600 on.

my pvr500 plays up on the second tuner
only after the computer crashes, I almost think it over heats maybe a bad connection on board dunno gave up trying to work it out only happens every so often (less than once a month and only if im doing something i shouldnt trying plugins etc)get error code 10 which on their site says something to do with video card bla bla... not their fault used to be a real problem to get it going again but i found a way to get it going again with in a couple of restarts still a pain but better than the hours i used to spend trying to get it to start i think it was a dud card from the beginning that siad it once running its good picture is a bit soft

Thanks. Good to hear. If you search the forums you obviously see heaps of posts about the problems people have had. I suppose in posting this poll I wanted to gauge the success.
Some of these 2xD and 2XD+2xA cards are very well priced - but only if you can get them to work without too much pain...

wannabepvr Wrote:Some of these 2xD and 2XD+2xA cards are very well priced - but only if you can get them to work without too much pain... I have two D+A combo cards. It was fairly easy to get the digital sides working on both (I had to move the cards around in the slots, probably due to resource conflicts). I managed to get one of the two analog sides working using the software recorder, but it couldn't separate the connections so the second card never worked on the analog side. I stopped using the analog when we moved to .net 2.0. I've thought about using the graphrecorder to see if I get better results, but haven't messed with that yet. I'd like to move to a hardware encoding D+A combo soon. It would be nice to get a better picture which products work best in GB-PVR. HVR 1600? HD Homerun?

I've got a Nova-T 500 - absolutely no problem recording both or recording one an watching the other...

Well I have 4 pvr500's and I have had all 4 (8 programs) recording at once many times. The main problem I have heard of with them is that some via chipset motherboards don't like them and there were a batch of bad ones. I have one that has lower volume than the other three on both it's tuners but not bad enough to change.

Because the Angel II profile settings are not saved with the graphedit .grf file, all Graphrecorder profile slots are filled with the same "Medium.grf" file. Khaver
