I have a FireDTV-S Floppy and can vouch for it under mediaportal. It's not a dual receiver, don't now of any that are. You can use it with a CAM (I have a T-Rex for Sky UK). FireDTV are also working on a DVB-S2 version for HD... hmmmm. Lot's of requests on their website for dual tunner support, but not sure what their plans are for that

If the TV tuner works with WMC, it will work with MediaPortal to receive (and record) TV programmes that are not encrypted. MP does not support FM radio tuners, so that part of the card will not work in MP. MP can play DVD disks, and I think that it can play blu-ray, but I have no experience of the latter, so cannot comment on how...

Actually I solved this myself. I did have the correct driver (it was the only one which would work).

It is a tool to detect the current run state of both...

It's getting weirder..... If I remove all the IP cards in the TVServer setup and then add them back I can scan the M3u and tune the stations but if I rescan it on the same card it just keeps updating the 1 channel. My brain is melting.........

Perhaps... Only way to confirm would be for me to invest in a different USB DVB-S2 tuner (like the Hauppauge WinTV-NOVA-S2), which I might do if the issue persists.

O Frabjous Joy! That seems to have done the trick. Thank you so much for your help and advice, CyberSimian. I hadn't thought of deleting the various folders, but I'll bear that in mind for any future disasters. Now I can record King & Conqueror on Sunday! Cheers Ralph
