Would a second identical satellite tuner card be properly recognized and work as expected?

[QUOTE="clarkebelt, post: 1088663, member: 148422"] Hello again mm1352000. I am sorry to report that we installed a second identical Prof tuner and are having issues. I had fixed the initial issue of not having "Enable DVB-S2 channels tuning/scanning" checked when I initially followed your instructions above about assigning the channels to the new card using TV Mapping. But even though I did that and mapped the rest of the channels (and then unmapped and remapped them when I was still having problems), for some reason it still just won't use both tuners at once, and now the problem is worse because attempting to tune something using the second tuner seems to result in the first tuner losing its channel. The first stream just freezes. It doesn't report "All tuners busy", it's as though it is trying to use the same tuner that is already in use instead of the second one. I also saw it happen once where the working stream actually changed to the channel I was trying to see on the other tuner. As a test I was trying to change channels using two clients at once and things just went haywire. I don't know how to explain this, and I wondered if you might be able to get any clues from those log files I sent you. On the DVB-IP (IPTV) cards setup screen, "Number of IPTV cards" is set to 1. I initially didn't change that because you didn't tell me to - does that only apply to the "MediaPortal IPTV Source Filter"? Anyway I tried changing it to 2 and it didn't help a bit, same problem. So, I set it back to 1 as it was originally. Also, the strings used to ID the two cards in MediaPortal are VERY similar, only a one character difference. I can't help wondering if for some reason it is detecting the same card twice or something. Thanks in advance for any help you might be able to provide. [/QUOTE]
