    UPDATE:

    No worries, I fixed the problem!

    I uninstalled the Nova-TD Tuner in Device Manager and rebooted. XP reinstalled the Tuner Device upon reboot and now both tuners work properly in TV-Server.

    I dont know why uninstalling the tuner worked, because before I "reinstalled" and "Upgraded" the driver many times, which is basically the same thing. My best guess is there was a glitch with Hauppage's "Diversity" feature, or the Tuner needed to be uninstalled to properly reset the device or registry settings.

    1. TV Card: Hauppauge Nova-TD USB Stick
    1. TV Card Type: Dual DVB-T
    1. TV Card Driver: 3.11.27187 WHQL
    More infoIts basically a laptop connected to an external Monitor, with one USB Tuner Stick. (Not using LAN or anything)


    I bought a new Nova-TD USB Tuner which has two DVB-T tuners built-in.

    It was initially in "Diversity" mode, so I changed the mode to Dual Tuner using the Diversity tool on the Driver CD.

    Now MediaPortal TV Server sees both tuners, but the second tuner is Type" Unknown". MP says "No tuner available" when I try to change channels while recording.

    The USB Stick has two gold Antenna inputs. I'm using the supplied Y adapter to connect the Roof Mounted Antenna Cable to the two gold inputs.


    I tried:

    Reinstalling MP RC4
    Using the older NovaTD drivers from the Drivers CD
    Rebooting many times
    Adding a 10 second detection delay in MP

    I am using Single-Seat MP installation. Is that the correct mode to use?
