Hi, I've just set up MediaPortal 1. I have a SiliconDust HD Homerun Dual Card, having 2 tuners. When I try to record 2 tv shows at the same time only one will record. Windows 8 is my OS. What can I do to record two shows at once?

    you should be able to run 2 or more HDHR tuners at the same time. I have 3 HDHR tuners on my Win7-x64 system and can record 3 shows at the same time. I don't have win8 so I'm not sure if there are any win8 specific details.

    When you setup your tuners do you see both HDHR tuners in TV Servers and scanned both tuners? see wiki

    If you look at TV Channels > Mapping and check both HDHR tuners, are the channel mapped to both HDHR tuners, see wiki

    Are you using ATSC (over the air with antenna) or QAM basic cable unencrypted? It would help if you uploaded your tv.log and error.log files. In win7 the log files are in the following, not sure where they are located in win8.
    C:\ProgramData\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal TV Server\log

    Well, the log doesn't show any problems. I can see correctly tuned channels in the log. It seems to me that the tuner works fine. Can you copy the created ts file(located in your timeshift folder) somewhere else while in channel preview and try to play it in VLC or MPC-HC? PS: You can also try to make short record

    It's getting weirder..... If I remove all the IP cards in the TVServer setup and then add them back I can scan the M3u and tune the stations but if I rescan it on the same card it just keeps updating the 1 channel. My brain is melting.........

    Hi, it looks like the Client's server connection settings got corrupted somehow and were reset, hopefully this is an easy fix. Open MP2-Client, navigate to Settings->General->Connectivity->Home server. In the menu on the left there may be an option Detach from home server, if there is click it and acknowledge the dialog that pops up...

    I removed all sign of MySQL, rebooted, did a clean reinstall. It reinstalled 5.6, But I've still got both the same problem - unable to connect to any of the specified MySQL hosts. And Hostname is still in red. I don't understand - this is a dedicated TV computer. Unless an update did this I don't know why there's a problem in the...
