[vdr] 2 DVB-T cards == can't record
Hi all! I have a problem with my VDR setup (c't VDR 6): I currently use a DVB-S TT 2.3 card as output device (no dish/LNB attached) and a DVB-T Nova-T as input device for UK freeview channels. That works just fine. Now I want to add a second Nova-T so I can record and watch something else at the same time. But as soon as the second DVB-T card is inside the machine, I cannot record anything anymore. I think there's two problems: 1. I am trying to use the antenna out on one Nova-T to pass the signal through to the second. That does not seem to work and the second card does not find any signal when using channelscan. This is something I need to figure out myself. But 2. even if I am watching a channel and a timer starts on that very channel, VDR goes into the endless restart loop. I'm guessing it is trying to tune into the channel on the other card, but why? I guess the ultimate question is: once I've sorted the antenna out (I guess I'll buy a splitter or something), will it just work?

Spliting cable with T-splitters make signal so weak (and chaining cards made it too) that one of the cards couldn't tune to wanted channel -- restart loop..

I demand that Jan Exner may or may not have written...

But as soon as the second DVB-T card is inside the machine, I cannot record anything anymore. Strange... I've not noticed any problems with three devices on the occasions when I've started VDR with all three present; OTOH, they're all DVB-T, though one's connected via USB. I think there's two problems: 1. I am trying to use the antenna out on one Nova-T to pass the signal through to the second. Ignore the outputs. You should connect both inputs to an amplifier; tune to and monitor one of the QAM64 muxes to check that the wiring is good. (It's possible that you may be able to get away with a splitter, but you'd need to be close to the transmitter or have a good aerial.) [snip] -- | Darren Salt| linux or ds at | nr.
