Foxtel & FTA Digital ( 2 tuners)

Ok, so a couple of years ago i had one DVB-T Tuner for FTA Digital
and 1 HVR1300 using RCA input from STB. I was using the free-epg
guide and had all my fox channels and FTA channels in the guide and life was fantastic. Well they discontinued the free-epg thing and now its all changed. So i just donated my $5.00 to free-epg and configured up the new way guides are downloaded into MCE.
So now i have my guide data back for both FTA and Fox.
My problem is and i was wondering if anybody has a similiar setup is how to get the DVB-T card setup again alongsie the HVR.
I can change channels for the Fox stations and my STB changes the channels via the blaster but i dont know how to get my DVB-T card to know to change channels again. Any help or step by step would be greatly appreciated.
thanks

Re: Foxtel & FTA Digital ( 2 tuners)

Ok i fixed it. I ame across this old note from some obscure thread a long time ago. If anyones interested this is how to have one digital tuner for FTA and one HVR1300(for Foxtel via RCA input).
The guide contains both FTA and Foxtel together and MCE will do the channel changing automatically........

Quote:
1. First set up TV Guide. I used OZtivo. using Bladerunner3

2. Download latest Guide.

3. Setup DTV and make sure all channels work.
ad listings to channels for TVguide. close media center

4. Save reg settings for DTV card services\video\tuners\ {xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx}\ {xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx}

and Setting\TVConfig

5. see what tvguide it uses \services\epg currentepg and copy the currentepg from mydocuments\all users\application data\microsoft\ehome\epg the eml and sdf that matches the reg settings for epg to a different location.

6. Now setup media center for foxtel through av with ir blaster.
and setup guide. make sure channels work.( check other posts)

7 close media center and copy eml and sdf file back to mydocuments\all users\application data\microsoft\ehome\epg and edit registry to match the file name \services\epg currentepg.

8. now add the registry for the dtv and TVconfig back to the registry, and then change
services\video\tuners\ {xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx}\ {xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx}

Analog Card
RecordOrder = 1
RecordPrefered = 0xffffffff
WatchOrder = 1
WatchPrefered = 0xffffffff

DTV =
RecordOrder = 0
RecordPrefered = 0
WatchOrder = 0
WatchPrefered = 0

9. set tvconfig to 1,1,4,1

10. open media center and check to see if dtv is working.

11. now you will have "add missing channels" button. all added channels will go through av and change with blaster.

12. add all required channels and add listing to the channels.

13 all finished enjoy foxtel and DTV.
