After trying several different things (new TV tuner, swapped out the PSU, changed the target Recorded TV HDD etc) it looks like the issue lies with the splitter... or does it? I am running 3 x DVB-S tuners (all Hauppauge Nova-S Plus). If I remove the splitter and test one tuner at a time all 3 tuners work perfectly <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" />  If I add a splitter back into the equation the tuner that is running off the Power Pass (and is set to priority one in TVServer) tunes all channels but the other tuners will only ever tune one channel <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite4" alt=":mad:" title="Mad    :mad:" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":mad:" /> and when I stress test the channels I get "card unavailable" errors (as you would expect) I have tried 3 different splitters - the one that I have been using + 2 others that I had in my "draw of stuff I might need one day.." - I get the same result for all of them. I find it hard to believe that all 3 splitters are faulty... (but I guess they could be..) So assuming it's not the splitter that's at fault then it must be the signal quality and adding a splitter is degrading the signal just enough to screw things up (?) If that's the case what is the best thing to do/test from here? I guess the LNB could be at fault? If so how would I test that? My dish is the usual Sky TV supplied unit (the one that uses 10750000 etc in the settings). Would I be better off admitting defeat and paying an aerial guy to come and check the signal? <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite9" alt=":eek:" title="Eek!    :eek:" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":eek:" /> Back to the splitter - I see that there are a lot on TradeMe that have Power Passes going to all 3 ports - are these OK to use with MP? Are there any advantages or disadvantages with these splitters as opposed to the current splitters I have that only have a Power Pass going to one port? Any advice would be appreciated! Cheers Bleazle</blockquote>
