Lastly I am attaching an image of the error that occurs about once a week where either 3 of 1 only of the tuners will record.

Seems some tuner rescan kicks in and causes the tunerequest registry to appear.

Does anyone know how to stop this?
OK lots of history since I last responded.
Some basics I have 2x dual tuner nova t500's
The registry always throws up 6 registry entrys.
2 Path0's and 4 Path1's.

The problem.
Monday always seems to stuff up 4 tuner record capability.
After 20 rescans and registry setups this is what i have discovered.

1. Scan Dev0Path0 and Dev0Path1 first and save the registry entries
2. Scan Dev1Path0 and 1

Note if you scan both Path1s at the same time the 2 dumby registries actually get used.
So depending on how you scan you will enable different registries.
I have had many problems using thse registry entry with failure to record 4 channels.

The Scan Request folder under Usersettings is added when a scan is complete so I add it to all 4 tuners by importing the registry entries.

Ill let you know how I go this week.

Really anoyed as both my mates have 0 problems with 4 tuners.
