[QUOTE="hotponyshoes, post: 215317, member: 59166"] Hi all, I have a pair of Black Gold twin-tuner cards fitted into my pc (so a total of 4 dvb tuners) These are fitted into the pci-e x 1 slots. When I run media-portal configuration it picks up each of the 4 tuners fine and lets me scan and tune each one of them indvidually. The problem is - when I try to record more than one program at the same time it will start recording the first 2 I selecte but if I try and record 3 at a time it just gives me a 'recording conflict' error/message when I try to start the third. From what I can work out, although I have configured all 4 tuners for recording when actually running MP it is only attempting to use one tuner from each card. I have installed the multi-dvb patch from microsoft, the fix mentioned in the forums for multipull tuners and the latest drivers for everything. Any ideas?? Thanks. ps. I have just done a clean install but I thought that, when I had it runnig before, (v2.3RC2) I could get a 'picture-in-picture' (PIP) display when watching TV. Now I can't seem to find it! Is pip supported by MP or was that something else I was using?

I only have Media Portal installed by itself. It is playing tv fine and recording 2 channels (but not all 4) Do I need to install the TV engine software (or is that included in MP) or something like that to get all 4 tuners functioning? Ta!
