Mixed inputs

[davidl4361]

I have a MCE 2005 with 2 matching Hauppaugge NovaT PCI tuner cards for receiving free-view channels. However, I also would like to receive extra channels from a SKY satalite receiver. I can't [i now realize] introduce the signal via the RF socket, as the Novas only receive digital, not analog signal. I used to achieve a purely analog signal with my dual tuner Hauppaugge analog card [MCE 250], but can I mix these in one system with the Novas?. If not, any ideas how I can introduce the SKY receiver signal? either digitally or using the analog signal?

The short answer is yes you can mix the tuners. You need to do some reading about running more than 2 tuners in MCE. It takes a little work but is quite possible, there are stickies in the tuner forums of this site on how to do it.

I have 4 digital tuners in the server on which I am typing now, I have 4 digital and one analogue for Foxtel in another MCE.

All-in-all, not too hard, will take some reading, backing up before trying and if you haven't tinkered too much with MCE before a couple of tries.
