Multituner PVR Statistic

[rowyourboot]

many topics starts with "HELP, can I combine card1 with card2".
To get some answers to such questions, I plane to build a list with running multituner PVR configurations.

If you have a fine working PVR with more than one cards, please sent your configuration to: www.pvrstat.de

The list with running multituner PVRs you can find at: http://www.pvrstat.de/4903.html

I got two pvr 250s working together
one pvr 250 MCE and one pvr 250 retail

[rowyourboot]

Thanks, I add you with the forum alias to the List (#4)

[jptaz]

I have 4 PVR 250 Retail and 1 PVR500MCE. I used all the Drivers from the 2.4 CD that came with the PVR 500MCE. See the Office PCE Description in my signature.

Thanks, you are #5

Is "Server" also a multituner System?

Regarts,
Holger

[rowyourboot]

Now I have 13 configurations. Please send more SagePVR configs
There you will find a anonymously form: http://www.pvrstat.de/4930/index.html

The list: http://www.pvrstat.de/4903.html

I have a server with 3 PVR-150's and one PVR-250. I'll get the form filled out in a minute.

[Crashless]

This is an excellent idea! It's something everyone has posted at least once -

I have this card, will it work with this other one?

Now who's gotten a 500 to work with a 350?

[ToxMox]

2 PVR-500MCEs
1 PVR-250 (15)
1 PVR-USB2
Asus A8N-SLI
Athlon 64 3500+
2 DDR400 Kingston 512MB modules
Leadtek 6600GT PCIe
Bios: not sure. Using rev that came with the board. Tried the latest beta and made one of my tuners have a resource conflict.

SageTV
USA
USBUIRT
Remote: HTM MX 700

using all latest drivers available.

[rowyourboot]

Hi Crashless,

there are combinations from PVR350 and PVR150 in the list.
I think this is the same case, because the PVR150 and the PVR500
has the same driver.

But if you combine a retail and a mce card, the remote from the
reatil card doesent work.

There you can find a user with PVR350 and a PVR500MCE (but he is not in the list):

Problems: one tuner have a resource conflict

System informations (like bios, chipset, CPU type) you can get by: http://crystalmark.info/?lang=en
The card driver version is very importent!

Have fun with multituning,
RowYourBoot

[ToxMox]

Missing info as follows:
Chipset is Nforce 4 Ultra SLI
SageTV 2.2.7
XP Pro SP2
TV: Cable (Cablevision)
Country USA
no mail or link

I only had the problem of the tuner resource conflict with a new beta bios for my motherboard. As soon as I flashed it back the problem went away. So I probably wouldn't list it as a problem

I can record 6 shows at a time.

Yes feel free to add this to your database.
Oh and the PVR250 is a rev 15

[rowyourboot]

Thanks, you are PVR NUM 17

Comment: Both Conexant cards in this machine are connected to Charter Digital cable boxes, with serial control of the boxes. I will be adding a Charter HD box with the Universal Network Encoder as soon as I can add Firewire to this machine.

I may end up pulling the board/proc from the Client 1 machine, and swap it with the existing server, not really sure as of yet tho (it may end up being a Sempron board/proc by the time I'm done). Why, oh why did Intel have to make S423 & S478 boards, it'd be so much easier to drop a faster proc on the server box if it was 478 .

EDIT: Also, I set up a gmail acct for any sage questions, just have to remember to check it from time to time(you can put it on the profile if you like): heffe.sage@gmail.com

[rowyourboot]

Thanks for your configs.
This was a good day for fishing multitunerPVRs, therefore you are # 19, 20

Regards from Germany,
Holger

[heffe2001]

Just so you know, my Sagerecorder machine is slaved to my SageTV machine as a network encoder, so my SageTV install has 5 available tuners currently installed, but I've only got 4 online (took the PVR250 offline until I can figure out why it keeps going to static).
