I am running two runers with SageTV now. A Hauppauge 250 and a Creative DVR. I am using 1.2.8. All is going pretty well even with the minor DVR lip sync that I can fix by changing channels is acceptable for now. I have one question though...

If I am recording something with Sage 1 when I try to go channel up or down I get a warning asking if I want to stop my recording and record that channel instead? Is there a way that I can make it use the second tuner when changing channels? It seems to work if I use the guide to pick the channel just not when I navigate using channel up or down. Another odd thing is if I say "no" it changes channels succesfully and keeps recording with the other tuner. It is kind of anoying getting the warning message.

Thanks!

This bug is fixed for the 1.3 Betas.

Thank you! Good work as usual. Am loving SageTV! Can't wait for a release version of 1.3 :)

FYI - It seems when two recordings are happening at the same time (one on the 250 and the other on the DVR) the recorded show for the DVR has HORRIBLE auido sync. Proably a full 2 seconds off. I bought the 250 to replace the DVR, but have gotten used to and now can't live without dual tuners! I think I am going to go buy another 250 today :)

Thanks for the great product!

I have been able to record with 4 of the 250 tuners at the same time. Worked fine for me.

Well I went out at lunch today and got a second 250. I am hopefull that I will never see an audio sync problem again :) I kind of wish that Frey would not advertise as "officially" supporting the Creative DVCR at this time with all of its issues. Although, I give them credit for putting so much effort into support for it.
