My current backend is using<br>
three pcHDTV HD-5500 cards. One of them just died. I'm waiting for an<br>
email reply from the folks at <a href="http://pchdtv.com" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">pchdtv.com</a>, but I'm not sure if they<br>
even sell those any more. Currently their shopping cart is down.<br>
<br>
I might end up going with an HDHomeRun Connect rather than trying to<br>
replace that third HD-5500. If I do here are a few things I'm not<br>
totally clear on:<br>
<br>
I'd of course be using all the tuners for the same channels, again all<br>
OTA ATSC, all on the same frequencies. As I understand it, this means<br>
I should be able to use the two new tuners on an HDHomeRun assigned to<br>
my existing "Antenna" source. What I'm not clear on is whether it will<br>
be necessary to scan channels.<br>
<br>
I'm really hoping rescanning isn't needed for several reasons. I pick<br>
up New York OTA, but also have a rotor and occasionally (though<br>
rarely) turn to Philly to pick up an NFL game. I leave those channels<br>
invisible most of the time. This means scanning channels twice. I<br>
absolutely dread scanning channels to begin with as it always gives me<br>
heart attacks, as I'm just never clear what it's going to actually<br>
change. I only scanned once for all three of my HD-5500 cards, and I'm<br>
hoping this will just be a matter of associating the two new tuners<br>
with that source.<br>
<br>
Another thing I'd like to be clear on is in regard to the way these<br>
will be identified once the new tuners are entered. I see that the<br>
existing three HD-5500 cards currently have the "displayname" set to<br>
DVB 1, DVB 2, and DVB 3 respectively. This is the (apparently<br>
optional) displayname that used to be on the obsolete cardinput table,<br>
which is now on the capturecard table itself.<br>
<br>
I'd definitely want to be able to tell them apart. Also if possible<br>
I'd like to have the HD-5500 cards take priority over the HDHomeRun<br>
tuners, and I'm unclear as to how or if that's possible.<br>
<br>
Thanks in advance!<br>
Tom<br>

My tuners are used in the order I entered them, so adding the HDHR to your system will give you what you're asking for. </blockquote></div></div></div>
