ok, so i have a problem with my dvb-s cards. one is a twinhan 878 and the other is a hauppauge 3000. the twinhan works fine until the hauppauge tuner starts receiving a feed and all off a sudden i cannot access any channels mapped to the twinhan card anymore and i just get the error message "no signal". this only happens when i change to a channel mapped to the hauppauge card. If i only watch channels mapped to the twinhan i do not get this problem. for some reason he two cards will not work together.

ANY IDEAS ANYONE?!

Possibly something to do with LNB power setup, either both cards trying to provide power or the hauppauge not able to power it. What sort of splitter do you have? Does it have "power pass" on all outlets or just one?

yep the splitter passes power on both ports. both cards work fine by themselves so im assuming they both pass power, and the hauppauge works fine at all times, its just the twinhan that stops working once the hauppauge starts receiving a feed.

maybe bother are trying to pass power. is there any way i can change this in mediaportal?
