First thanks for any help :-)

I have a Dvico and a Twinham DVB card
After install only card1 recorded, everything that would have gone to card2 was marked ‘Conflict’

The Input Connections -> Input Group 1 was marked ‘Generic’ Input Group 2 was marked <something like> blabla-adaptor0
for card1

The Input Connections -> Input Group 1 was marked ‘Generic’ Input Group 2 was marked <something like> blabla-adaptor1
for card2

I then created groups named A B C and D
I assigned A and B to card1 C and D to card2

Both channels are now used for recording

I agree this is a different problem.
I recorded the Austrian GP yesterday and got multiple recordings (3 !!) 1 was probably the station fool around being preamble but 2 and 3 were almost identical just different start times.
How would I troubleshoot this.

The schedule clearly shows record this show
status shows 4 tuners, 1 and 2 recording the GP, 3 and 4 idle

Again this is a clean DB so there are no left over funnies, no upgrade DB funnies
Should I go poking around the DB ?
