Hauppauge PVR-350 & PVR-500 coexisting?
Is it possible for a 350 and a 500 to work together? It seems like I can get one card or the other to work, but not both....
any ideas? What does "Watch Request Failed. Null" mean? Any help is appreciated...I've been pulling out my hair on this all night--and I don't have much hair to spare! ![]() thanks again, rwc |

I gave up on trying to get the 350 to work with the 500...I definately narrowed it down to the driver...if I installed the 500 driver, the 350 wouldn't work and vice versa.
When I called up Hauppauge to see if they had any ideas, they told me that Hauppauge PVR cards are only supported with 1 card per machine! GO FIGURE! When I mentioned multiple tuner support in sage -- they said "Contact sage then. We don't support it." I eventually swapped out the 350 for a 150 and it worked fine ![]() rwc |

usually a hardware/ driver problem
hauppauge just needs to stop dumping their support on others and address the issue it took over a year to get multiple 250/350 with different chipsets to get resolved they should have at least taken some info and said they would foward the info on the technical support guys there are pretty much worthless like anywhere else |

I think the Hauppauge and ATI code writers are the same people. They both take about six months to release an update to drivers and or software that fix anything.

Was your problem related to the IR port, or just total compatibility issues? Were you using the 350 output? What OS are you using? Sorry for the barrage of questions, it's just that there are a lot of people who are looking at this configuration, and it would be nice to know specifics. Thanks so much. |

I think it was just a compatibility issue...not related to the IR port at all. I ran HWClear and then installed teh PVR350 drivers included on the PVR500 CD!
(I also tried downloading the PVR350 drivers from teh website, and the PVR500 drivers from teh website) I don't use teh PVR350 for the TV-out... I'm running windows XP SP2 |
