Recording Issues Since Installing Second Tuner Card
Hi Guys,
Having some issues with my media centre and trying to rectify a solution for it, so I hope I've come to the right place....
I currently have a media centre running Win7 32bit and a Hauppauge 2250 dual tuner card. Everything seemed to be working fine, however, I wanted to introduce a second card. I therefore, installed a second Hauppauge 2250 dual tuner card (identical card) and ever since then I have had issues.
First of all, windows 7 detected and installed the original (first) card without an issue. No driver required, however, when installing the second card windows complained that it could not find a driver. I had to install the driver from the Hauppage website to get both cards working together. I ran through Media Centre TV setup and it detected all 4 tuners correctly.
I then ran a scan for channels and it detected 0 channels found. I removed the antena cable and plugged it into the other card. It then found all channels without any issues, but live TV gave me 'No TV Signal' errors. I then had to remove the cable again and plug it into the original card to be able to watch live TV.
Okay, so my problem is that every single time a recording is about to start, Media Centre pops up an error down the bottom saying "There was no TV signal on channel (number), so (program name) could not be recorded. Reschedule the recording after verifying the TV signal is working for that channel", however, all scheduled programs actually record fine. If I then go from Recorded TV back to Live TV it gives me 'No TV Signal' errors. I then have to exit out and go back in to be able to get Live TV working.
All of this only started happening since installing a second card and 4 tuners. I have since gone in to Media Centre settings and temporarily disabled two of the tuners (1 & 2) and the Media Centre hasn't faulted since.
Is anyone able to provide any info on this as I'm unable to find any helpful information thus far.
Thanks in advance,
Rips
