Problems with Hauppauge DVB-S & DVB-T in same PC

[renzz]

Operating System: Windows 7 64-bit

TV-Cards: Hauppauge Nova-TD-500 dual DVB-T tuner, Hauppauge Nova-S-USB2 DVB-S tuner, Avermedia A808 DVB-T single tuner, Technotrend TT-S23600 DVB-S

Drivers: Latest versions from Hauppauge website

Mainboard: Asus P6X58D-E

Graphics card: Nvidea 9800GT driver 197.45

 

I've just built a new PC and have the above hardware installed. However, I have an odd problem. I have the Nova-TD-500 set as Preferred (both tuners), and if I start a recording of a terrestrial channel, it works ok and uses the Nova-T-500. However, if I start with no recordings active, start two recordings of satellite channels on different transponders, they start on each DVB-S device, but if I then start a recording of a terrestrial channel, it doesn't start at all, and the svcdebug log show "no hardware". It doesn't even start it on the Avermedia DVB-T tuner.

 

The key factor seems to be the Hauppauge Nova-S-USB2 - whenever there is a recording active on that, the recording service will not use the Hauppauge Nova-T devices.

 

I've attached a support.zip.

 

Thanks

somehow the system thinks those are hybrid devices. A bug. But you can fix it yourself for the moment:

 

- Stop the recording service.

- open the file svchardware.xml in the [your configurationfolder]\config folder with notepad.

- search for the DVB-T entries and change the "DeviceNr" to 4 respective 5

Thanks for the quick reply Lars. I now have all five devices recording simultaneously
