Support for 2x WinTV-NOVA-T-500

[StuckInTheMud]

Simple question...

Does SageTv support dual WinTV-NOVA-T-500 cards, i.e. 4 receivers?


I'm looking to change from MCE (which only supports 2 receivers) as there are often times when we want to receive more than two programmes at a time.

Looks like it does.
I don't use it but minor variations on the same card like in the example linked generally do. Download the trial and let us know

I have a Nova-T-500 and whilst it works ok, there is a problem with it when my PVR goes into standby (or hibernate). When it wakes up again, I just get the dreaded "No signal" message on all channels (Hauppauges WinTV 2000 works ok still though so it isn't the card failing). If I restart the Sage service everything springs back to life again. Now I have read all kinds about these issues and it could be down to my systems particular hardware combination (IRQ sharing and the like) so you may not have any problems at all. In the end I wrote a little service that watches for power events and if the system is coming out of standby (or hibernate) it restarts the Sage service. A bit hacky but it makes things work ok.
