[QUOTE="CyberSimian, post: 1250227, member: 141969"] In the very first HTPC that I set up (using WMC), I tried to use three Nova TD-500 cards for a total of six DVB-T tuners, but I could not get them to work properly. I don't remember the exact nature of the failure (it was in 2009!), but I eventually found a post on the Hauppauge support forum from a Hauppauge representative saying that more than one TD-500 in a system was an unsupported configuration. And that was what I found -- one card worked without problem, but two or three would not. I guess that the driver for the card expects to see only one card, and becomes confused when there are two or more TD-500 cards present. If my recollection of the cause of the problem is correct, and an updated driver was never issued, I don't think that there is any fix that you can use. The only solution is to sell two of the TD-500 cards, and buy two different cards to use with the remaining TD-500 card. Also, bear in mind that the DVB-T broadcasts will probably be discontinued sometime in the next five years, so you might like to consider purchasing DVB-T2 tuner cards (all/most DVB-T transmissions will become DVB-T2). -- from CyberSimian in the UK [/QUOTE]
