Ok thinking about trying NextPVR software. Right now long time user of Sage TV. Reason thinking about trying NextPVR. In Saged TV I have been using 3 capture cards. All Hauupauge cards, one PVR-150 connected to Verizon STB Via S-video/audio cables. No HD but can get all the cable channels. Two other cards 1600 connected to Antenna to get HD over the air which is what I mainly watch. BUT when its real windy outside have problems getting the over the air channels.
So I thought I would just connect the 1600 cards to the Verizon cable TV line (NO STB) and tune in via Clear QAM which would give me all the channels I get with antenna in HD but no need for antenna . Problem Sage TV is kinda dumb in that I have my PVR-150 card which is connected to the Verizon STB set to tune in ONLY the cable channels I don't get with the 1600 cards. That worked fine when I used antenna for the 1600 cards but when using Clear QAM when setting what channels each card should tune it couples all the cards ,,for example I say to for both 1600 cards to tune in 2-1 which is NBC over the air it also sets the PVR-150 card with that channel or another example I set the PVR-150 card to tune in 550 which is USA network it also sets that for both 1600 cards which since there tuning in via Clear QAM they cant tune in 550 yet it tries anyway. Hence making this setup not usable. It couples all there cards channel numbers. Iam like WTF.
So can NextPVR have 3 capture cards, one capture card connected to a STB and two other cards connected to cable line BUT no STB and have different channels for the card connected to STB. Another example. I want only the two cards connected to the cable line with no STB to tune in 2-1,4-1,7-1,23-1,29-1,49-1, but NOT any of those channels for the PVR-150 which is connected to the STB . So say I have the Blacklist set to record it would only try to use the Clear QAM tuners not and try to use the PVR-150 as I only want that card to tune in channels like USA,TNT,FX,TBS.
