nVidia DualTV and PVR250-16 anyone?

[AndyS]

I asked this question in the DualTV thread a little while ago but didn't get an answer. Has anyone installed this card with the PVR250? I have a couple of 250-16s and I'd love to add the DualTV to make 4 tuners.

I can't see a problem getting it to work. I installed my NVidia DualTV with the PVR150 (only 3 tuners there) but had no problem at all. I then pulled the 150 because I wanted to test the FM Radio plugin and the FM Radio on the NVidia for some reason does not work and I also wanted 4 tuners. So, I then pulled the 150 and put my cruddy WinTV PVR500 and set the encoder merit property to favor the NVidia. It did not work right away and I had to do some tweaking to get the server to work. Basically, it would not boot up but would of course in safe mode. I disabled the NVidia graphics driver (I have an NVidia graphics card in the server) and everything worked fine. I'm hoping at some point NVidia wll allow for 2 cards (4 tuners) and fix the FM radio problem so it works with the plug in. I'm not sure if that is a problem with the NVidia drivers or the FM Plugin.
