Dual DVB-S2 - One has no signal (1 Viewer)

[Jasey_wasey]

Hi,

I have 2 DVB-S2 Tuners (Hauppauge WinTV-NOVA-HD-S2), however one of them won't tune in atall. I have swapped the COAX to the LNB's, and the same tuner will tune, and the same will not.

I'm Running Windows Vista Business (it's about the only one that doesn't include MS Media Center). I have no other software on this system for testing much with (this is a dedicated Media System).

The intention of adding the second card was due to MediaPortal crashing if the TV Server had scheduled a recording to start, and you were watching another channel at the same time, this would allow TV Server to use the other card. however, without it seeing anything atall (shows signal 0%) I am not able to do this.

does anyone have any idea's that could help with sorting this issue?

Thanks.

J

Check if they work with the hauppauge software, you may have a faulty card.

This may involve removing one card at a time from the pc, just to make sure there is no conflict between them.
