I suppose you could call this a bug.

I have two digital-only cards --- a Leadtek DTV1000 T and a Leadtek DTV1000S

In MediaPortal I installed the 1000 T by Configuration\TV\Capture cards\Add card. It works fine.

Subsequently I bought the DTV1000S and installed and tested it as OK in other software.

In MP I attempted to add the 1000S, but when I clicked Add Card the 1000 T came up as ANALOGUE card 2. I deleted it and tried a few more times but it kept coming up as analogue.

Finally I allowed it to remain and then when I clicked Add Card the desired 1000S came up as card 3.

I have deleted the Analogue card 2 but the 1000S is still listed as card 3 and overlapping timer recordings are mostly failing. I have the priorities set as 10 for the 1000 T and 9 for the other, and both cards set for TV and recording. I can view TV and change channels while one (1000 T presumably) is recording.

I feel that if I could get the 1000S listed as Card 2 instead of 3 all may be well. Can anyone tell me how to change it please? The folder for recordings only shows cards 1 and 2 and not 3.

PS
I am planning on adding a third digital card (a Nebula USB). I hope I do not have analogue appearing again.

Thankyou anyone who considered helping on this. I have found a workaround solution myself, but it is only a workaround and I consider it a bug that it can happen that a digital-only card can attempt to add as an analogue.

The workaround was

PM configure/TV/Capture cards/ select and delete each one in turn. This does not seem to actually delete them fully, but rather removes them from the list. You will find that their settings and tuning is retained.

Click Add card. If a "Unable to create graph" box pops up, just click OK as many times as necessary to move on.
On the Capture card TAB, you will find that the drop-down lists the cards you deleted. Select the one you would like to use Friendly name 1 and OK. Repeat for any other cards in the order you would like them to be listed, and they become listed as card 2, card 3 etc.

The rogue analogue version of my digital-only card was also in the drop-down, but I simply did not add it back in.
