Message: <blockquote data-quote="IceHappy" data-source="post: 252003" data-attributes="member: 22174">Just updated Nova T 500 to latest driver 4.2 n still no luckHello Media Portal ForumIt was suggest that I run the newest drivers for the Hauppauge Nova T 500 (4.2) to see if there was any change as Hauppauge and many other non users of Media Portal has 2 or more of these Nova T 500 working together.  One chap has 8 tuners (4 Novas) installed however he is using Vista and MS included HTPC Software which fails to amuse me.  I have also install yesterdays Media Portal latest SVN and received the same results as the past! I am posting a jpg so that you can see the Device Mgr in Xp Pro has no trouble seeing both cards and next to that window is MP configuration tv card screen where as it has accepted the first card and both tuners but turns up its nose at the second card and cannot see tuner 3 or 4.What I have not said but explained to Hauppauge is this; I can try MP TV Server but I have many disabled people through the years who cannot afford much and I don't get paid by them, running Media Portal!  I have their kids, Gkids, GGkids location mapped out in the weather section of Media Portal and most of their equipement except tv tuners have been donated by my local clients who upgrade for speed and pass on their old kit so I can place it with someone who is house bound.  For these people I do not profit on the hardware I install just cover cost.  I am concerned that for an addition to be able to record more than one card is worth that I am going to have to spend extra time setting up MP TV Server when indeed it is only for one extra card and there is no way these people will be able to have a second machine as I put enough band aids on the existing kit.  My motive is charity but also the idea if I can place their mind outside the pain area of concentration for a space of a movie or listening to their favourite music which I converted to mp3 for them then their lives are slightly improved....  I have not had time to play with TV Server for myself to judge how much time it will cost me to update those people who want an extra recorder but my concern is also for how they will understand how to use the "new" bolt on software when they are just getting used to the Media Portal I have set up for them.  I try not to change anything as these people are not really end users.  Hence when I visit I break out of email their new pixs of relatives and place those in Media Portal Pictures folder....Is there anyway we can get two Nova T 500 working in the Media Portal 1 ver 0.2.3.0?  I hate Bill Gates to winning with his Vista leaving us behind since MP allowed more than one tuner before him.....Thanks for listening.Best regardsIceHappy</blockquote>
