Dual DVB Tuners

[gomotion]

Hi,
I need help. Does the software support more than one DVB tuner. I have an Hauppauge Nova-T and it installs ok. I have tried several other cards as second cards but without success. Error I receive is "Failed to locate configured BDA device. Have tried a Fusion HDTV, Compro DVB-T300 and Twinhan DVB-T.

If you have (for example) a Nova-T and a Compro DVB-T300, they both need to be set to device #1. I'm guessing you set one to device #1, the other to device #2?

It normaly gives you "an in use" error if you forget to set the #1, #2 thing. I have 2 Nova's and a PVR150 all living together OK so it does work fine. Only problem I had was lip synch issues on the second Nova whilst recording. I have now switched to DVR-MS and it fixed it. Its nice and stable now. Best its ever been

Thanks for the tips. Yes the device 1 setting seemed to do the job on a second Nova-T. I will try the other cards now that I see how it is done.
Is there any way to identify which device is which when recording (other than show status in the service app). Why isn't it device 2? BTW, I seem to have lost EPG overlay when I change channels - dunno why. much appreciated.

Why isn't it device 2?

The number is per-device type. If you had two Nova-Ts, then you would have #1 and #2.

Thanks again. Starting to make sense. Any ideas re why I don't have the EPG
data displayed when I change channels?
