[QUOTE="Mercbac, post: 359698, member: 48233"] Well, I started off with two FloppyDTV-S2 tuners and had nothing but trouble, meaning I could not rely on a scheduled recording to work or even LiveTV to work. Trying to explain to the rest of the family that MP is really great doesn't work when the tuners disappear from device manager all the time and they can't watch their favourite TV programs. I had one of the FloppyDTV's exchanged under warranty after a discussion with Digital Everywhere tech-support, but the new one had the exact same behaviour of disappearing from Device Manager. After trying 3 different firewire controllers with both tuners either on different controllers or on the same or chained to each other, at least one of them would disappear within a day. I do believe that having just one might actually work, but I have to test that over an extended period of time before any valid conclusion can be drawn. So sick and tired of dealing with unexplainable hardware issues I tried the SP400 (Azurewave, Twinhan, Terratec, it all seems to be the same hardware), but with that one I am not able to find a driver that's both stable and makes the tuner work in MP. And to finally answer your question, Bounguine, yes I currently have two tuners in my system, one FloppyDTV and one SP400. [/QUOTE]
