[QUOTE="dale_mac, post: 40349, member: 16071"] Okay, I think I have success. Looking at the Dual DVB Patch posting as suggested by ziphnor, there was also a reference to three other MS hotfixes and a dotnet update. I didn't need the dotnet update because it's for 1.1 and I'm running 2. I tried the three hotfixes, but the second one came up with an error. Found out then that I needed Media Player 10 and I had 9 (From a fresh install). Updated MPlayer, applied the hotfixes, added the extra tuner card in Media Portal setup (I had to autotune the extra card, otherwise MP didn't see it). I tested recording one show and watching another. It seemed to be recording okay. When I checked the recorded file there was a listing for the show but would not play! It took me a long time to realise that I was unknowingly deleting the recording myself. I was viewing a show and clicked "Record now", then I selected "Record current program", changed channel to view something else while recording, changed back to the first channel and clicked "Stop record". When I tried to view the recording, it would not play. I finally realised stopping a "Record current program" before it finishes will delete it! (It's listed as cancelled, instead of finished) I clicked "Until manual stop" instead and it all seems to work okay. I can now view another show while recording the first. Woohoo. I think now that I only need to experiment with video codecs to get a stutter free recording (It isn't that noticable. Might be my Celeron is a bit slow). I've posted all this info in case others have the same problems as I did. I should also mention that my HTPC isn't connected to the Web, so auto updates don't happen. Without the forum, I'd be lost.
