[QUOTE="stephenv, post: 1055317, member: 145465"] The first trouble I had with installing the second Colossus card was getting Windows 7 to recognize it as a device. When I installed the first card I just used the CDROM that came with the card, but the drivers on this appear to be old and when I installed the second card the Windows Device Manager only showed one card as working properly and only one card showed up in the MediaPortal Server Configuration tool. So I downloaded the latest drivers from the Hauppauge support site, uninstalled the old drivers rebooted, installed the new drivers, rebooted and then both cards showed up in Device Manager, but both were marked as "not started", so then I uninstalled, rebooted, re-installed and rebooted and finally Device Manager showed everything installed and working and the MediaPortal configuration tool also showed the second card. The system has been through numerous reboots since then without further issue. Snapshots of the TV Servers section of the Configuration tool are included here. The only place where I had to do something was in the "scanning" tab, where I had to click on the "Add S-Video channels" button before any video would show in MediaPortal from the Colossus card. Again, this might be another case (like in the client configuration when there was no audio) where you need to do something in the configuration tool to get it to update the configuration on disk even though everything is correctly set up with the defaults.
