Hi,
I have just rebuilt my Win 7 system using a Leadtek Dual PCI card and a Fusion Dual PCI card giving me 4 tuners in total. Scanning has proceeded fine and all channels are connected to the 4 tuners. Now the channels won't display ...comes up with the old "antena could be unplugged" screen...this happens on all channels.

When I edit the chanel source to run on only 1 tuner, the video comes up and I can switch channels successfully.If I then go to the same channel and connect the other 3 tuners, again all OK. Seems like it needed a kick to choose a tuner.

If I record on a channel and then try and switch to another channel, the same dud screen appears, which seems to suggest that MCE is only using 1 tuner.

I have tried blowing away the tuner registry setting and rescanning but same problem. Do you think I should blow away the guide database as well and see what happens?

Any ideas out there

I run a series1 and a series3 DigitalNow TinyTwin USB tuners for 4 tuners in total. I had to install them in a certain order for things to work.

So try installing thy cards in diff orders.

I expect you'll find that either of the cards will work ok on their own, but the combo causes problems. Pairs of PCI>USB Host>USB dual tuner cards (which is what you have) are notoriously bad in pairs.
