I have two NOVA-Ts (different chipsets). Individually they both work

one of the cards.
How are you feeding the signals into those cards? Remember if you are
using a passive spitter you are throwing away half the power and
supplying each card with 25% of the power of a direct connection.
The Connexant card has coax in and out sockets, The Phillips only has an
in socket so I pass the coax direct from my external aerial into the
Connexant card and thence, via a short piece of coax, into the Philips card.
I figured whatever I did, I was in trouble as my signal is not the
greatest - but this way I figured that at least the connexant would get
100% of what was going. Unfortunately, the Philips card ended up as card
#0 and the Connexant #1 (or is it #1 and #2), So i think Myth was trying
the card with the weaker signal first and possibly getting upset when it
couldn't get a channel on it.
Thinking back, I'm pretty sure that I retuned both of them from
mythtvsetup when I put the second in, without a problem....
Would someone mind outlining the best procedure in terms of getting a
good signal to both cards and anything else relevant ....
thanks for your time,
Jules
If you have done something more ad-lib then you could be losing even
more of the signal.
