[clug] any experts in mythtv? can't record 2 recordings.

[Paul]

hmm having lookeed at your suggestion just to prove 2nd DVB-T card is working under mythtv
I scheduled 1 recording using this device and it fails.
So the problem is with 2nd DVB card not two recordings.
Its a Digital Now DNTV pro (Hybrid) which in my opinion is a underperforming card .

I've tested it out with mplayer

eg mplayer -msglevel all=6 dvb://2@"WIN TV Canberra"
and it appears to work under mplayer, so this is got me stumped on what to check and what 
is the cause, but obviously something in mythtv which is wrong.
