I've got two Nova S Plus cards. They run through a splitter which in turn is connected to a signal amp and then on to the LNB. Or vice versa:
LNB --- Singal Amp --- Splitter --- 2 Nova S-Plus Cards.
The splitter has one of the outputs designated for power passthrough for the amp and LNB.
I've noticed that the card connected to the non-powered output will only pick up a signal when the one connected to the power output is being used. This seems to mean that when the Nova S Plus card is not being used, it does not send power to the amp and LNB. This is regardless of whether or not I enable the Power (?) in the config settings for the card. I've also got a Avermedia A700 card which does not exhibit this behaviour... i.e. it always sends power whether it's in use or not.
I don't know if there is something specific to the Nova S Plus cards, or if there's something I'm missing in the configuration of these cards. I guess a way around this is to purchase on of those "Diode" splitters where both outputs can provide power. Any suggestions?
