[QUOTE="bigj, post: 75021, member: 10940"] Hi guys, I got it all working. It was a couple of things in the end. 1./ I did need a clean install - the initial config found all 3 cards just fine. I was also able to remove them all and then re-add them; so the problem I was experiencing with MP looks like a corrupt or out-of-date config xml somewhere. 2./ This was more subtle. Because I want to run *4* tuners from my TV downlead (3 htpc tuners + dedicated STB) I decided to by a 8x TV amplifier/splitter - note the redundancy there ;) - However, it seems the compro U3 is very sensitive and it didn't like the boosted signal (couldn't get signal at all).
