I have 2 Hauppauge Nova-S Plus in my HTPC. MP is recognizing both cards, all channels are assigned to both cards and the prority is set to 10 for card1 and 1 for card 2.
But it's only possible to record with one. If the seconds cards starts recording it creates a file ~ 6kb and thats it.
Channel switching while one card records is possible, but TV stays black.
This behaviour is depending on whitch card is recording. Is card 1 recording and I switch tv-channel the recording continues but the tv stays black. Is card2 recording and I switch channels the recording stops immediately.
1. Watching TV with card1, recording with card2 ->file ~ 6kb
2. Watching and recording with card1 and changing channel -> recording continues, tv is black
3. Watching TV with card2, recodring with card1 -> recording the show, but now live tv
4. Watching and recording with card2 and changing channel -> recording stops, tv is black
5. Scheduled recording card1 first, card2 second at the same time -> card1 is recording the show, card2 creates a file ~6kb
6. Scheduled recording card2 first, card1 second at the same time -> no recording at all.
This happens with MP 0.13 and with 0.2RC1
There are no usefull entries in the logs. Considering the log everything works, but it doesn't.
EDIT
A) I wrote the image of XP back(with all Fixes but no drivers), installed the drivers for the 2 Nova and installed 0.2RC1. MP was only finding one Nova after the insallation. I had to add the other manual.
B) Same again, but with 2 Nova and a Twinhan 1022 DVB-S. . After the installation of 0.2RC1, MP was finding the Twinhan and one Nova. I had to add the other Nova again manual.
Could this be a problem with the Nova-S Plus drivers?
PS: I've test both cards with MS MCE2005 on the same PC, same driver etc., only another HDD to exclude any tv card does not work proberly. But everything was working fine.
