I just switched the second Hauppauge to two TechnoTrend budget DVB-C cards (ie. now I have one Hauppauge + two TechnoTrends), and the problem seems to have gone away. When a CA channel recording is started and I'm watching some FTA channel, I lose picture and sound for a couple of seconds, but that's not a significant problem. I have recorded different CA channels several times now, and I've always been able to watch FTA channels normally. -- Antti-Pekka Liedes * [EMAIL PROTECTED] * I look around my room Aallonkohina 8 D 60 * [EMAIL PROTECTED] * is filled with candles 02320 ESPOO * * each one a story but FINLAND * +358 - 40 - 5873 593 * they end the same.
