I'm running two Dvico DVB-T HDTV tuners. 1st card is a Fusion DVB-T and the second is the Fusion DVB-T Lite. Both are installed and working on MCE 2005 RU2.

When I fire up the configuration application for MediaPortal all looks good, I can autotune with both cards and configure everything up without the slightest hitch. In MediaPortal however, when it tries to use the second card I get 'unable to create graph' errors. The first card works without a hitch. As mentioned this is running on Windows XP MCE 2005 RU2 so the multi tuner patch shouldn't be required??

PLEASE HELP!! :(

    One tip is to set one card to a higher priority. (MP Config/TV/ TV Cards)

    It seems to work best this way.
    Experiment with each card. Maybe the second card would work best if it is the first used card.

    Well after an evening experimenting,...

    The second card doesn't want to play no matter what i do.
    constant "Failed to Capture filter->MPEG2 demultiplexer" errors
    This occurs to EITHER card. It doesn't matter which card is set as #1, the card set as #2 will always throw up the error

    Here's the log:

    What version of the Dvico drivers are you using - the latest ones (v3.41) seem to be giving a few people problems, but v3.30.01 seems to be OK?

    The drivers definately aren't the latest.. I learnt awhile back that once you have a stable working version, dont update the driver! :lol:
    I'm at work at the moment so I can't check the version.
