[QUOTE="Dave80, post: 1004081, member: 141388"] sorry i never updated my profile i live in queensland australia. i have been vigourously testing this bit by bit. i contacted avermedia and they said it may be hardware conflict and if possible to test in different rig. they also suggested to return the cards under the stores return policy. i had previouslty been swapping slots etc trying to get the cards to work together. then i got sick of it and put a single card into the pcie x1 slot above the first pcie16 and wala for some reason it works no worries with a single card in that slot. so i left it run for a day to test and all was fine. so im sitting on the couch thinkin wtf im missing shows i want to watch i cannot just sit here with 2 tuners... its not enough i may as well go back to my tivo. then it dawned on me... i tried 2 cards (1 in each pcie x1 slot) then i tried 2 cards (1 in each pcie x16 slot with a vid card in the top pcie x16 slot) and i remember reading something about how when running tri sli that the last slot can only run at half speed because it runs through a different chipset to the other 2 pcie slots.. . so i started thinking i didnt try one card in the top pcie x1 slot and 1 card in the bottom pcie x16 slot. BAM it works!!!!! no lag at all!! HOWEVER!!! now i have a new problem.... (or at least the other half of my problem?) i average around 1000us dpc latecy which still is fine really. and then it spikes incredibly high when it fires up an extra tuner. which i can live with.. BUT ive discovered if i try to tune to any SBS channels that DPC latency goes into the red again... so to test this out i did this manual tune. open 1 tuner to 7two (strong signal) open 1 tuner to sbs.. (causing DPC Latency issues again) then manual stop.. (still has DPC Latency issues) stop tv service (still has DPC Latency issues) restarted service (still has DPC Latency Issues) now only 2 things will stop the high DPC latency 1. disable the tuner i tryed to watch sbs on in device manager 2. manually tune all tuners to channels with excellent tv reception signal (almost like it has to manually retune the card to move away from sbs before it will stop causing problems) then bam the high dpc latency stops and is if it was never a problem so.. i gather 2 things from this.. 1. my sbs signal is weak i guess? 2. either my card is staying actively tuned in to the channel with weak signal or media portal isnt closing the channel properly and moving the card to idle? how do i proceed? do i buy a amplifier? something like this?
