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

[QUOTE="clarkebelt, post: 1088684, member: 148422"] If I switch the cables everything works as before. In other words, before I switched the cables I had it set so that only the card with Priority 2, ID 3 was enabled, and everything worked. After switching the cables, everything still works with that setting. And if I change it so the other tuner is the only one enabled, then nothing works on any of the DiSEqC inputs (I get the "No PMT found" error). As it happens, the DiSEqC switches are indeed identical. A few years ago, I lost a DiSEqC switch during a lightning storm, and had to wait for a new one to be delivered. Since they were relatively cheap and I know how sensitive DiSEqC switches can be, I decided I'd buy two at once so I'd have a spare in case something like that ever happened again. That "spare" is now the second DiSEqC switch. I was trying to keep things simple for those logs but I did try channels on all of the LNBs. With the one card enabled I could get channels on all of them, with the other card enabled we got nothing on any of the LNBs. Note that the channels should be right because I followed your instructions in post #2 of this thread and simply copied the original channel mapping to the new tuner. Of course I have no way to verify what the program is doing internally but I did not attempt to scan anything with the new tuner, I simply used the existing channel maps. Is there any relatively easy way I can tell if it's locking on the wrong transponder or satellite? I really don't see how it could be, but I suppose it would be better if I could positively eliminate that possibility. [/QUOTE]
