Awesome program first of all. Have a question that I haven't found the answer to anywhere yet.

I just bought a Hauppauge 500 dual tuner and installed it in a spare system:
XPSP2
512MB Corsair
128MB FX5200
Athlon 1700
Onboard Audio
SOYO K7VME

The problem I'm having is when I add both tuners in the configuration, It doesn't allow me to watch TV or record. Deleting one of the tuners allows everything to work fine: recording, timeshifting and live TV work fine.

Am I missing something when I configure them? I tried messing with the check boxes next to "use for recording" and "use for watching TV" with no success.

Any ideas?

    Hi,

    Anything in the logfiles which might give us a clue? They're located in the subdirectory "log" from the installation directory.

    Kind regards,
    Michel

    no no no.......

    card1..........priority high (10)
    card2..........priority low (5)

    to adjust in the configuration.

    I've tried a bunch of different combinations of priorities....but everytime i have both cards in the config, it doesnt let me turn the tv on. If i try to change the channel, it turns gray and scrolls through the channels but returns back to channel 20....which is odd cause i didnt have it on ch20 before.

    When i delete one card, then restart MP, i click "TV ON" and it pauses for 2 seconds or so then the tv turns on and everything works.

    Update

    Just an update...I installed GBPVR and it detects both tuners and uses them no problem at all. However, I still like the MP interface better and would like to at least come up with a workaround.

    Is there plugin support for comskip for MP? I really enjoy it in GBPVR.

    Same card, No problem!

    I can watch tv and record.
    But when i record and switch channel the recording stops.

    I would think the first tuner would keep recording and the second tuner swings into action, to dispplay the other channel. Prolly not implemented, yet ? :]
