[vdr] Dual Tuner Cards
Hi, This seems like a pretty dumb question but I hadn't seen it mentioned before and just wanted to check. I'm looking to buy a dual tuner card, most likely the WinTV Nova-T 500. My question is, as long as the card is supported in Linux will vdr treat it as two dvb-t devices? Cheers, Alex ___ vdr mailing list vdr@linuxtv.org http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr

I've got one and it works a treat. It does just appear as two separate DVB devices. I did read stuff a while back about people getting USB disconnects from them at random but I've never seen that with mine.

The problem is with transmissions where the actual transmission frequency doesn't match the frequency in the PAT/PMT tables, or if using automatic settings for inversion, qam, hierarchy etc. See log below when tuning with w_scan.

I'm running a 2.6.20 kernel (I think I originally used the cvs DVB drivers for the card but I'm pretty sure they're now the stock kernel ones). As for disconnects, seeing as the USB devices are hard-wired, they shouldn't disconnect! I've got a couple of the external USB2 Nova-t devices and they go through phases of randomly doing a USB disconnect. Maybe it's down to luck whether your dual card disconnects or not (dodgy solder joints, or something?): I was a bit worried about this when I was buying mine but I've never seen this one disconnect. The remote sensor doesn't work but then I'm using a home-brew LIRC detector which I've found to work much better than the Hauppaugue (sp?!) detectors so the lack of remote sensor isn't an issue for me. I'd get another one if my Epia board had a second PCI slot! Cheers, Laz ___ vdr mailing list vdr@linuxtv.org http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr

(WinTV-Nova-TD) I'm prepared to suffer a bit of weirdness while the drivers improve if I can free up a valuable PCI slot in my HTPC!

Well the T500 is working well for us in multiple machines (one has 3 x T500's installed) under Kubuntu 7.04 and Kernel 2.6.20-15-generic.
