antdude Posted January 30, 2010 Posted January 30, 2010 Hello. I have two questions: 1. How do I know which HDTV tuner card (same model -- Broadband Technologies Air2PC-ATSC-PCI; DVB; connected to a rabbit ear antenna via a splitter) is showing in my DVBViewer's v4.2's screen? 2. I noticed one card is stronger and more stable than the other one on some channels. How can I have specific channels use one specific card? Thank you in advance. Quote
dvbrewer Posted January 30, 2010 Posted January 30, 2010 Hello. I have two questions: 1. How do I know which HDTV tuner card (same model -- Broadband Technologies Air2PC-ATSC-PCI; DVB; connected to a rabbit ear antenna via a splitter) is showing in my DVBViewer's v4.2's screen? I think you have to go to Settings>Options>Hardware and the card in use will be highlighted. 2. I noticed one card is stronger and more stable than the other one on some channels. How can I have specific channels use one specific card? You can set groups for channels by opening the channellist, clicking channel editor, set a different group in the bottom right corner (A-H) for the channels that are weaker. Then go again to Settings>Options>Hardware and untick the new group for the weaker channels on the weaker card. HTH Quote

antdude Posted January 30, 2010 Author Posted January 30, 2010 (edited) Thanks. However, I set first card as group A and second card as B. I selected some channels for each group. When I record one and record another, it says there is no hardware available. Eh? I must be doing this wrong. And is there a way to do for specific timer's recording? I didn't see any options to tell it to which card to use. Edited January 31, 2010 by antdude Quote
Tjod Posted February 9, 2010 Posted February 9, 2010 However, I set first card as group A and second card as B. I selected some channels for each group. What is the reason to use for using the groups? I didn't see any options to tell it to which card to use. The DVBViewer select the cards for a Timer at the start of the recording. Quote
antdude Posted February 9, 2010 Author Posted February 9, 2010 What is the reason to use for using the groups?Read above. It was suggested to use the stronger cards on specific channels. Quote
Tjod Posted February 9, 2010 Posted February 9, 2010 Do you have each channel only once n the channel list? Quote
antdude Posted February 9, 2010 Author Posted February 9, 2010 Do you have each channel only once n the channel list?What do you mean by each channel once in the channel list? Quote
Tjod Posted February 9, 2010 Posted February 9, 2010 Do you have a copy from channels which are in group A in group B? Quote
antdude Posted February 9, 2010 Author Posted February 9, 2010 Do you have a copy from channels which are in group A in group B?Are you asking for a copy of my channel list from exporting to show that? Yeah, I can send that but I am not at the computer right now so I will have to do it later tonight (PST). Quote
Tjod Posted February 9, 2010 Posted February 9, 2010 Are you asking for a copy of my channel list from exporting to show that?Not really. But if you send me a copy of you channel list I can see the answer to my previous question in it as well. Quote
antdude Posted February 9, 2010 Author Posted February 9, 2010 Not really. But if you send me a copy of you channel list I can see the answer to my previous question in it as well.OK, I will do that later. Did you want me to configure the grouping or without? Quote
antdude Posted February 9, 2010 Author Posted February 9, 2010 Exactly the list you are using now.OK, I am currently not using groups at the moment for sure since I couldn't get them to work correctly. Quote
Tjod Posted February 10, 2010 Posted February 10, 2010 OK if you don't use groups at the moment. I need no channel list. However, I set first card as group A and second card as B. I selected some channels for each group. When I record one and record another, it says there is no hardware available. Eh? I must be doing this wrong. Pleas explain this a little bit more. If you connect a channel to one group you can receive this channel only with cards connected to this group. Quote
antdude Posted February 10, 2010 Author Posted February 10, 2010 I remember I set a bunch of channels to one group/card, others to another group/card. I record one, and then tried to change to another but couldn't because of hardware not found error. If I don't use groups, then I have no problems. Quote
Tjod Posted February 10, 2010 Posted February 10, 2010 If you record one channel from group A, you are not able to tune a other channel from group A this is correct. You have only one card for group A and this card is recording a channel. Quote
antdude Posted February 10, 2010 Author Posted February 10, 2010 OK, I am currently not using groups at the moment for sure since I couldn't get them to work correctly.I attacked my exported DVBViewer Pro's channel list without any groups.DVBviewerPro_80channels.ini Quote
