Testing out with 2x DVB-T2 + 2 x DVB-S2 behaviour

[subminiature]

I have a Blackgold BGT3600 card that has 2 HD Freeview and 2 HD Freesat tuners on windows 7 64 bit, 8Gb RAM, i7 Quad Core 3GHz.

I also have cards in other PCs to check reception and signal strength using the same cables.

DVB Dream installed (demo - nice to try before buying). Everything worked 'fine' - some blocking and roll of the image on HD in particular. It found the Freeview channels and then the Freesat ones but where as I get listed twice for Freeview only one option per channel appears for the Freesat ones.

But then I can not select from the channel list. opening up Device - DBA I can select DVBS and DVBT tuners - 4 (ignoring the DVBC ones). I have to select from this list before the channel appears. Why? Also only one of the DVBS options gives me the channel - the other fails.

I am assuming that both DVBS tuners are working as Windows Media Centre found both before it forgot about having an installed card.

DVB Dream also refuses to rescan DVBT.

I have yet to try four channel recording which I can't see would work if it can't select the tuner and one doesn't seem to be working.

Any suggestions as to what might be done to get this fully working. Thanks.

I uninstalled the application.

With multiple tuners, it is quite simple actually. (DD will keep staying simple, since these tuners are not widely used.)

Since you have 4 tuners, simply install 4 copies of DVB Dream into different folders / path. During each install rename the desktop shorcut name by adding 1, 2, 3, 4
(i.e. "DVB Dream 1", "DVB Dream 2" , "DVB Dream 3", "DVB Dream 4")
You should also specify different folder(path) for each installation (i.e. "C:\dvbdream1", "C:\dvbdream2", "C:\dvbdream3", "C:\dvbdream4")

Then configure each DVB Dream for each tuner (devices dialog, pick a different tuner for each DD copy)

You can run 4 DD and watch 4 tuners at the same time. With help of PIP you can watch 4 * 20 = 80 channels at the same time (if there are enough channels on the same transponder/frequency)
