Map Sage Tuner Source to Device Manager

[zakrzep]

Does anyone know how to find out what video source in Sage correlates to what device in device manager?

I have 3 identical HVR-1600 cards and one of them is giving me a problem. In SageTV it is "Hauppauge Digital TS #2", but I don't know how to figure out which one it relates to in device manager.

Thanks

One possible way, to avoid messing up your configuration, would be to disconnect one cable at a time, while trying to watch something (looking for snow or No Signal), to determine which tuners are associated with which cable and card. Do it of course at a time when there's nothing you plan to record. This may help identify the physical cards, but may not help with the Device Manager.

If you have to identify the correct one in the Device Manager, you could try clicking Disable on each of them, and testing for which tuners are affected, then re-enabling each, but you run the risk of having to re-add them as Video Sources and re-mapping their channels.

If you double-click a device in Device Manager, it should tell which PCI slot it's in. I think Sage numbers them in slot order, but I can't swear to that. Still, knowing the slot number and disconnecting the input cable should suffice to pin it down.
