Registery keeps dropping tuners

[Moby58]

Hi Guys,

Have a couple of the new Haupauge PCIe Dual tuner cards in system.

Have gone thru and got all 4 tuners working.

Have exported the reg keys for each individual tuner, as well as a key for all 4.

now, had the same problem that follows when I had 2 Nova-Ts in the system.

Every now and then, the registry will change and I will lose 2 of the tuners (1 card ??)

So, I have a task to reboot the HTPC around 3am each day, and a batch file in startup to add the tuner reg keys.

However, sometimes in the evening I have 4 tuners, sometimes I have 2.

Trouble is, ya dont know you have 2 until it tries to record a third program, then it is too late to reboot...

So, what is causing the registry to change?

Am now running Vista Ultimate, with all updates.

Are you running the new beta drivers for them?

Also, I think you're over complicating things with the export/import registry set up.

Do this:

Simply install both cards with the above drivers.
Run the VMC set up & select the 2 tuner option & scan, etc.
Close VMC & use the Tuner Edit App to enable & name the extra tuners.
You might still need to go in to the tuners section to manipulate the watch record order properly (make them 0/3, 1/2,2/1,3/0 & make sure you include the Watch Preferred & Record Preferred entries for the appropriate tuner (0xffffffff or what ever it is).
Reboot.

OK, Done

Also, I think you're over complicating things with the export/import registry set up.

I was doing that because the registry was dropping one of the cards. However, after reading the other article, hopefully the new drivers will fix the problem :-)
