Default Any recommendations regarding dual cards

Thanks RTV,

I will be trying as it is not very easy to get other DVB-C cards (by easy I mean = cheap :-)

I was wondering if there is any configuration pitfalls in tv server configuration as I use 2 cards.

Can I just leave the settings as they are after first setup (and tuning the channels). What I mean if I use two cards which find have exactly the same channels, do I need to worry which card handles the recording of this mux and showing of a different mux? For example in Finland we have two major muxes : YLE and commercial TV.

Is it beneficial to dedicate one card for YLE channels and the other for commercial TV channels?

Is it better to let only the other card handle EPG?

Markku
