How to get SageTV and WMC to work together in computer with 2 tuners

[Chris99]

I have a computer with 2 tuners, Hauppauge PVR USB2 and Hauppage HVR 1800.

The computer is a Hp m9040n media center computer running Vista 32 bits.

I would like Sage to use one of the tuners and Windows Media Center to use the other. How could I get them to work together? Right now SageTV works but windows media center says, "No tuner found". But WinTV does work, so I know both TV tuners work in the same computer.

Thanks for any responses.

Well, thanks for the zero responses.

So, I will answer my own question. You can't use both SageTV and Windows Media Center on the same computer even if you have two tuners. I tried it and it did not work. They fight for the same tuner. So I removed SageTV and Windows Media Center works now. And I moved the SageTV server to another computer.

Why do you want both? You're duplicating functionality.

Well this is untrue. If you set up only ONE tuner in SageTV and only ONE (the other one!) tuner in Windows MCE or VMC then they will never fight for shared tuners. I don;t know why you couldn;t gett his to work, but it should have. Now as to why you would want to do that... well, who knows.
