If the only card is an MCE I know how to force the tuner type, but I don't know how to tell the system that one card is tuner a and the other is tuner b. I'm sure there's a way but I'm only using my MCE for satellite and thus don't need the tuner, so I just let it assign it incorrectly.</DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV>The MCE OEMs are sometimes referred to as "white box" and sold as second tuners for Windows MCE systems (not third or fourth tuners, MCE is not capable of that :-))</DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV>Between NTSC and PAL, remote and no remote, radio and no radio, RCA jacks and 1/8" jacks, IR blasters and no blasters, old remote and new remote, USB remote and I2C remote, I wonder how even Hauppauge can keep track of what a "150" actually is.</DIV></BODY></HTML>
