Hi All,

I have the following problem with my Twinhan DVB-C Cab-Ci card. It works fine for watching and recording television, but as soon as I start watching and/or recording another channel through my Hauppauge analog PVR 250 card the Twinhan breaks down. The video starts stuttering heavily; sound is ok. This affects both live tv and recorded tv. The video on the Hauppauge is fine.

I have tried a lot of things. Different (older) drivers for the TV cards, different Nforce and Forceware drivers, all recommended patches for DVB etc., PCI latency, release and SVN versions of MediaPortal. I seem to be out of options. Signal strength (74) and Quality (98) for the Twinhan are ok.

Advice on this would be very much appreciated! Attached log files from a session in which the problem occured (both cards recording while watching the Twinhan live)

Thanks!

problem solved; that is, I bought a cheap XFX NVTV card (19 euro's) and it works! So I guess the Hauppauge is either too old or the driver sucks (or both).
