When I had both tuners on the Silicon HD configured manually by IP
address, the second tuner (labeled tuner 1) was truncating recordings.
 When I configured both tuners by Device ID after searching for them
using the proper utility, the first tuner truncates recordings
(labeled tuner 0).

Last night, I deleted all the cards and configured the first Silicon
HD tuner by device ID, ignored the second tuner on it and configured
the pchdtv 5500.  That appears to have properly recorded everything
from last night, but again, I'm not using the second tuner at all on
the Silicon HD, thus defeating the purpose of a dual tuner card.

That being said, I'm wondering if I were to reconfigure the Silicon HD
tuner by device ID and just configure tuner 0 and enable the multiple
recordings, if that would work, but I'm at work right now so I can't
do that.

Does anyone on the list have the Silicon HD dual tuner?  I'm curious
how someone might have it configured correctly and working.

Thanks again,
Michael
