Pinnacle Dual Hybrid 3010ix - Problems

[Bathman]

In BDA Device configuration when I click only show devices on this machine it lists the Balckgold DVB-T 3540 tuner as the one present. This works fine and allows me to scan channels (if I use the Pinnacle Dual Hybrid 3010ix setting it gives me bda device not detected error).

However as this is a dual tuner. So when I add a second device I again select Blackgold DVB-T 3540 (is this corrcect with my terratec 2400 I used to have to choose tuner 1 then for the 2nd scan I would choose tuner 2) it scans fine but when I try and watch a programme while recording another GBPVR doesn't let me and returns to the main menu. Thus I very much suspect only one tuner is being detected.

I am doing something stupid. Has anyone successfully configured this tuner and been able to use both DVB-T tuners? If so which drivers did you use?

Any help would be very much appreciated.

I have just successfully set up my GBPVR machine using a Pinnacle 3010ix card and the BlackGold drivers. Amazing value for money £17.99 delivered from Play.com

You are correct that only one tuner appears in the drop down list for the card , which I also found odd as I was expecting to see two.. one for each tuner, but all I did was pick the same card again and changed the Device Number to "2" for the second instance.

Having done this I have successfully recorded two programs at the same time.

Now if I could just find a way to use the remote control with GBPVR

I have to say I am well impressed with these tuner cards. They are an absolute bargin. A dual DVB- T tuner for under 18.00 quid It really is an absolute steal.
