Hi!

I have a lot of problems when I try to mix my cards.. No errors in logs but these scenarios:

1 card installed alone then it works with all three types.

2 cards installed:
FloppyDTV & Twinhan 3040 = Works for a few days then the CAM in FloppyDTV hangs

FloppyDTV & Technotrend = FloppyDTV works OK but when trying to tune the Technotrend it returns DVB-T channels on the DVB-S frequencys ...

Twinhan 3040 & Technotrend = computer crashes when tuning the Twinhan card. Technotrend works fine..

Tried every combination in two computers..

Help..

I am getting a similar problem with combinations of DVB-T cards:

1 DVB-T Nebula DigiTV PCI BDA Tuner Filter
2 DVB-T Conexant BDA DVB-T Tuner/Demod
3 DVB-T Hauppauge WinTV 88x DVB-T Tuner/Demod
4 Analog Hauppauge WinTV 88x Tuner (Disabled)

The DigiTV seems to work with any combination, and I can get the other 2 cards working initially, but after a while one of them seems to loose its tuning information and just fails to record (no error messages) if I disable either the Conexant or Hauppauge card everything seems OK, although I then only have 2 tuners available.

Well, I´ve ran som tests now. And it seems that my FloppyDTV is the trouble.
When I have FloppyDTV activated in device manager I cant use any DVBS channels. It seems when MP tries to scan DVBS channels it returns DVBT channels but on the DVBS frequencys ... If I deactivate FloppyDTV (indicated as FireDTV) in devicemanager everything works OK..

I´ve attached my TV logs. With and without the FloppyDTV if somebody can help me ..
