Changed setting to "-D 0 -D 1 -D 2" So it would use all 3 tuners (default) and left it on the 3rd tuner. Next morning first tuner was down. Today I'm trying it with "-D 0 -D 2" So it uses the first tuner of the dual and the 3rd tuner (second card). Leaving it set with vdr on the 3rd tuner. On 4/5/2010 1:21 PM, Timothy D.
