Thanks!!! It works!!!

I config just one adapter with passive scan, and I can see programs
info (I reset video sources first). I have some questions.

1. If I dont use any XML grabber, don't I need to execute mythfilldatabase?
2. Which is the real difference between active and passive scan? Both
take info on LiveTV?
3. Is prefereble to config both adapter (dual tuner) with passive scan?
4. What does "open on the demand" means? I must enable?

Thanks for all your help, I relive my tuner.

Best regards.
