[QUOTE="RobNorthcott, post: 1156257, member: 57999"] Well, changing the card priority didn't make any difference. But enabling preloading on the second tuner seems to have sorted it :) Weirdly (or perhaps not if I fully understood what preload does) setting the second card to preload also works if the situation is reversed - i.e. second tuner in use when first tuner is needed. I set a recording to start then purposely made tuner A unavailable by watching another channel. When the recording started (on tuner B) I stopped the live channel and retuned to another one. It did not kill the recording. So the problem is fixed (yay!) - but I'd be interested to know what you reckon the problem actually was, and why preloading the second card fixes it, if you can explain it without wasting too much time. Is it something to do with initialising the second tuner for the first time causing the driver to drop the first tuner, and preloading gets some of this initialisation out of the way early? (Thanks for all your help in the last few days [USER=82144]@mm1352000[/USER]) [/QUOTE]
