I've got a quite interesting problem with my two TV-cards. My 1-year old son managed to go via the menues into card setup in the wizard and after this I have the following problems:
- Whenever I have both cards enabled in Mediaportal, The Twinhan card takes precedence over the FloppyDTV (and I want it the other way around of course). It doesn't matter how I set the card Priorities.
- During testing I sometimes manages to get both cards named "card2" as friendly name. Then the next time they are named "card1" and "card2", always with the TwinHan card as card1 in those situations.
- If I try to watch an encrypted channel (I've taken away the external cardreader on the TwinHan board), I always get a message like "no board available for watching tha selected channel". If I remove the FloppyDTV from the config I get a black screen when trying to watch encrypted channels.
- As long as I only have the FloppyDTV card configured in Mediaportal everything works as it should. I can watch encrypted channels with it etc. And everything worked just fine before my son played with the remote...

If anyone is curious why I stopped using the TwinHan card an bought my self a FloppyDTV, it was due to poor reception and I also had a need to use the card in ordinary boxes and wanted it to be reachable from the front of the HTPC...
