[QUOTE="mm1352000, post: 888391, member: 82144"] Hello again Okay. That is interesting. Yes, that looks like the same problem as what I saw in the previous logs. What seems to be happening is: 1. First recording starts successfully using the TerraTec tuner. 2. TV Server attempts to start the second recording with the Hauppauge tuner. Tuning appears to succeed that no video/audio stream is received from the tuner. 3. TV Server retries over and over again to start the recording, but in each case the problem is the same - no stream received from the tuner. The retrying seems to be preventing TV Server from stopping the first recording. I suspect the problem may be an issue with the software encoders. In my experience the ATI encoders are great. Usually they can be used with more than one tuner, however it is possible that they are not compatible with the Hauppauge tuner for some reason. You can test this by temporarily disabling the TerraTec tuner and attempting to start a recording with the Hauppauge tuner. If it works then the problem is the encoder can't be used with more than one tuner on your system for some reason; if it doesn't work, the problem is a compatibility issue with the Hauppauge tuner and ATI encoder. One possible solution may be to install the Hauppauge (Mainconcept) software encoder from the SoftMCE/SoftPVR package. This should be freely available for you from the Hauppauge website ([URL='http://www.wintvcd.co.uk/downloads/SoftMCE_Setup.exe']link[/URL]). Then go into TV Server configuration and have a look at the "software encoders" tab in the "general" section. First ensure that the ATI and Hauppauge encoders are detected (if the Hauppauge encoders aren't yet recognised, restart the PC and check again). Then increase the priority of the ATI encoders over the Hauppauge encoders since you know the ATI encoder works with your TerraTec tuner and your TerraTec tuner is higher priority than your Hauppauge tuner. Finally, untick the "reuse" option on the ATI encoders so that TV Server won't try to use them for more than one tuner. This should force TV Server to use the ATI encoders with the TerraTec tuner and the Hauppauge encoders with any other tuner. Hopefully this will solve the problems... mm [/QUOTE]
