Problem Using Multiple Tuners

OK, I have a Plextor TV402U and a Hauppauge WIN-TV-PVR150 installed. Sometimes when I would stop live tv playback and go to the main menu and then restart live TV playback I would get static, like there was no video signal. I thought I had a problem with my TV402U at first, but I remembered that I only had the cable hooked up to my TV402U. So I removed the PVR150 from the STV sources. And voila, the channel worked now. What was happening was when I stopped live tv and started it again, STV was switching from the Plextor to the PVR150. So, to make a long story short, Is there a way to make STV stick to a particular capture device? Or, if when you select to play live tv, could there be an option added to select which capture card to use? Same with recordings.

Did you have the PVR150 set up as a device to record Broadcast/Cable TV/Guide Data? ...even though the cable wasn't attached? Or was it set up to use just Composite/S-Video?

You can set up two identical channel listings. i. e. two channel 3's, two 4's, etc. One for each tuner, then you can specify what tuner records what. Same goes for live TV. You select the channel that corresponds to the tuner you want. More than 2 tuners and it can get confusing though!

I guess what I was thinking was, if there is no RF cable attached to the 150, why set that up as a device to watch/record cable....because Sage will attempt to use it that way. I'd either set it up as an S-Video or Composite recorder with no guide data (which should give you an entry for channel "1"), or just split your cable signal and run one to the 150 as well.
