installing sageTV - what are the tuner names?

Right now iam installing sageTV on other PC. Not this one .

I have TWO HAUPPAUGE 1600 cards and one 150 card. When i get to the setup capture cards its not clear on what i should choose.
It shows
Hauppauge tv 418 video capture

Hauppauge tv 418 TS capture

Hauppauge PVR PCI II capture

Hauppauge tv 418 TS capture #2

Hauppauge tv 418 video capture #2

I would assume the 418 ones are my 1600 cards and the pvr pci II is the 150 card.

Problem
i set up first 418 video capture ok but if i try to setup with 418 video capture #2 it doesnt get a signal. Plus i get no signal from the PVR PCI II card either.

It appears the 418 TS capture card is the digital tuner on the 1600 cards. BUT again it only gets a signal from the first one but not #2 TS card.

So what do i do? If i choose the wrong card can i redo the setup later to correct any mistakes i make?

Yes, in the setup menu, you can either use the "Setup Video Sources" or you can choose to "Run Configuration Wizard" again.

I'm not sure which input is which on the 1600 but the 150 is analog.

Ok that was weird. If i instaled the PVR150 first then that one would work but it had to be installed first. Then if i installed one of the 1600 cards both analog and the digital tuner then finish with install then rereun the wizard it would then work for the second detected 1600 card both analog and digital. Very strange.

New problem though. When watching digital HDTV over the air ATSC TV picture is jumpy. Its like it loses a frame every other time so the video play back is a real slow frame rate. I will post a question over on the hardware forum but i thought i would ask here. Iam guessing i should choose a differant decoder choice but what one is the question that will work well for the 1600 ATSC digital.

Right now I use the Cyberlink mpeg2 codec from PowerDVD. I've also used Intervideo decoders, and they work reasonably well too. I'm running the Purevideo decoder on my server, but I hardly ever play back videos on it. I used the Purevideo decoder on my client a couple years ago with success.
