So I guess the only app that supports multiple tuners of this type is media portal ? |
That's a shocking price from Scan, they'll be giving them away next
I tried MPortal but kept getting an error when trying to scan for channels, looking on the MP forums it seems to be a common problem with XP, dual based cards and an out of date dll. I'll try again sometime on a fresh install with XP Service Pack 3. Didn't have any luck with GB-PVR as well, it reconnised the pinnacle card as a blackgold for error's again when trying to scan the channels.
My best software so far has been dvbviewer although I've only got one satellite connection to play with, so my test is limited.
The pinnacle software is rubbish, I tested out analogue support, you have to telling it which aerial port to do a channel scan on, doing PIP it's good a detecting and using each tuner, but when it comes to recording two channels at the same time you have to tell it which tuner to use otherwise it'll warn you already have a record request set and wheather you want to overwrite it - I'd expect the software to know a tuner is available and use that for recording.
