[QUOTE="Mew, post: 422092, member: 29012"] I have 2 hybrid groups set up, one for card one and one for card two. As I mentioned earlier, only one of the cards is actually acting as a hybrid at the moment as I have disabled one of the DVB-T tuners. I have got a spare aerial socket so I could add it in, but free to air DVB-S covers most channels (except Dave, Dave Ja Vu, Virgin 1, Sky 3, Five USA and Fiver) and has a lot more besides so it has not been a priority. I also normally don't tend to use MediaPortal to watch live TV as I have a Humax Foxsat Freesat set top box (I use MediaPortal for recording TV, watching DVDs, movies etc). Saying that, I believe that some channels such as ITV1 broadcast at a higher resolution on DVB-T than DVB-S so I have the DVB-T tuner at a higher priority so TV Server should use this first if the channel exists on it and it is not in use. I have been using 2 HVR-4000s (and there is one PVR-500 in the HTPC as well which I don't now use) in TV Server since April 2007. I initially used Windows XP as an OSand now use Vista x86. You only need to install one set of Hauppauge drivers for the 2 (or I assume more) HVR-4000s.
