Is two DVB-C cards possible (Twinhan Mantis 2033)? Hi,
My previous motherboard went dead about three months ago. I decided to wait for this motherboard (read sig.) and oh boy it took only 2 months. Now I was quite content whit my previous setup. It crashed now and then and I blamed MP, but actually it was the motherboard showing it's faults. And after using two commercial units (old Nokia and newish Vision) I realized that actually MP (even the old version) was much better featurewise (obviously) and functionally.
Now I am starting from scratch and I decided I would like to put two tuners in. Currently mediaportal works great with one tuner but with two tuners not. The cards themselves are using the same driver and chipset. They are different revisions but it should not matter anyway. Both cards work well by themselves but together I can not get the desired results.
I have attached the test tool zip and maybe the real pros (yes I mean developers) can see something from the logs which is obvious to the trained eye.
I really would like to keep using XP PRO, but if the problem is solved switching to MCE2005 or Vista so'll be it. I have used the dvbfix util and as I said both cards work well individually.
