Windows Forum / Windows Vista / Music, Photo, Video / September 2007Recording TV Issues using Two TV Tuners
I have a m8010y HP Multimedia computer using Vista Ultimate. The computer came with two TV tuners. Both of the tuners were recognized during Windows Media Center setup. When attempting to record TV programs most of the time WMC records the right program but 30% of the time it does not. I find very little information addressing issues associated with PCs running two TV tuners. Is this a software issue and/or poor interface between the PC and the cable setup box? Do you have 2 cable STBs, since 1 STB can only output one program at a time, so that you can feed each tuner with a separate program signal? >I have a m8010y HP Multimedia computer using Vista Ultimate.

I have successfully recorded two programs at the same time and was able to watch one live. That is not the problem but WMC not consistently recording the correct program. > Do you have 2 cable STBs, since 1 STB can only output one program at a > time, so that you can feed each tuner with a separate program signal?

If so, all you are doing is feeding the same program to both of your tuners. Or does your cable STB box also have recording capabilites that you are possibly using? Or does your cable STB possibly have the option to just pass through the raw cable connection that it is receiving from the wall as if it was not even there. > One cable feed to a splitter with coax to the two TV Tuners.
