"unknown error" when using 2 TV-cards (2 Viewers)

[TobiasWallenthin]

Dedicated TV-Server Version: 1.7.1 Hotfix
Windows Version: Windows 7
TV Cards: 3 FireDTVs Internal

Please tell me that there are a very simple solution to this very annoying problem.

I have 3 FireDTV cards but I can only use one at a time,if I active two I get an "unknow error" when I'm zapping around.
I made a test this evening on the dedicated TV-server computer using the manual control in the TV-server configuration.
Clearing the logs between the tests (they are attached to this posting).

First test: Using only card 9, starting/stopping timeshifting with no problem.
Second test: Using only card 7, also without any problems...
Third test: using both cards, "unknown error".

And of course this problem occurs on all my clients too making mediaportal very unstable and hated by my wife... :-(

I really need some help on this.

Best regards
Tobias

Hello Tobias

Error is 0x800705AA - ERROR_NO_SYSTEM_RESOURCES.
I'm not a FloppyDTV expert, but I think you'll find that the problem may be related to firewire and how you've connected the tuners. Ideally you should not daisy chain them, but if you do daisy chain them I think it makes a difference whether you connect the top or bottom firewire connector.
