problem getting 2 hvr-1250's to work

[david1234]

I put a 2nd hvr1250 into my server, but Sage doesn't seem to see it. Went into device manager and both cards have the same IRQ, but I'm not sure if that matters.

Is there something I should be looking at? I'm not sure where to start getting this second card enabled.

thanks

I haven't worked with that card but here are some things to keep in mind.
Sometimes the drivers for the card will not support multiple cards in the same system. I don't know if it is true with these but it is something to consider.
Capture cards usually don't like sharing IRQs. What I use to do was to reboot my machine and get into the BIOS. Disable any hardware or ports that use an IRQ but you're not using anyway. Parallel port, a serial port or two, built in NIC or sound that you're using a card for. This will help free up some IRQs. Then, remove both cards and run the hwclear utility to remove all the Hauppague drivers and references. Then reinstall one card at a time. Change the PCI slot you used on one of them if you can. You may be able to get them both running after that.
