I Previously posted this in TV server support forum, date:2008-07-15 18:18 number:42302? didn't say anything in the rules about that so i hope it's ok?
I Have installed two DVB-C cards in TV-Server V. 1.0.0.0 RC1 Twinhan/Azurewave AD-CP300 and AD-CP400 (have also tried with two identical cards CP300) When i scan for channels no channels are found on the second card although the signal indicator goes up to 98%, the first card finds all available channels.
I Have two subscriber cards with almost the same subscriptions (one has subscription for 4 more channels) in both the CI Cam readers, one for each tuner.
I have tried a complete reinstall of Windows and with a "clean" Portal/Server install, and with some different SVN builds, starting from 19311, up to the current RC2 release, doing a complete uninstall every time.
When scanning the "faulty card" it says "nothing found" NOT no signal, so the signal cable is ok.
I have also tried removing one card at a time, and each time,the remaining card finds all available channels.
I'm pretty sure the first time i installed the second card, i was able to find some channels, but then i tried changing the prioritys on the "servers/cards" and that made it stop working, and after that i havent been able to make it work again, i even tried installing different drivers for each card (Mantis 300, 400 and 600) but that didn't solve anything either.
The two cards ca work together well enough in other programs, and do pip/pop and such..
I Have added the log files from the scan folder, hopefully someone wiser than me, could take a look at them, it seems so me that the message "subch:0 RunGraph: already running" could be part of the solution, but what doi know.. I'm only a computer repair guy..
Since adding the files below i have tried the followin things aswell in an attempt to solve the problem:
Changing the Mothernoard to a new one (same model) changing the CPU to an E7200, switching both tuners to new ones, reinstalling Windows with/to Vista Enterprise Ed. (complete reinstall formating harddrive).
One thing i have to say is that the automatic update of a danish Windows does not include SP1 that can however be found and installed manually, which i had done when posting this originally, however this time i havent done it since i read in a newsletter that MS was waiting to include it in automatic update due to some problems with specifik HP motherboards (Which i dont have), just so that you know that currently i've not installed SP1.
If the log files indicate anything of the sort, i can easily change some of the hardware, since i'm a computer resseller/repairshop, so it can all go back to the shop if nessesarry..
UPDATE!! I am in contact with a technical developer/supporter at Digitalrise/Marel Data, he was the one who sendt me the unreleased driver version 1.1.0.600, which i have also testet with no luck.
Today i was informed that this "setup" does NOT support a CI modul in the second card, the channel scan should work fine anyway, you just won't be able to use the secon CI modul.. just an information to anyone reading this thread, since this probably also means that this "setup" will only be able to descramble one channel at the time, which will make it much less atractive, obviously you should still be able to watch one "free" program while recording one scrambled and the other way around.
