How to use Digital Cable and analog Cable at the same time?

[mlancast]

I am trying to use Digital Cable and analog cable at the same time using one PVR500mce and one PVR150. The PVR500 (dual tuner) is connected to analog cable (about 65 channels) and the PVR150 (single tuner) is connected to the Digital cable box (output channel 3).

The problem is that the TV listings show the analog channels and then a duplicate channel for the Digital tuner. i.e: History analog CH 45 and History Digital CH 129. The problem comes with the tuners and what order they should be in to record the correct stream. It should be: all Digital signals recorded on PVR150 (since you can only tune one channel at a time with a cable box and the PVR500 should record only the analog channels since you can record two different channels at a time on the dual tuner.

How do you correctly setup both Digital and analog sources on one system?

Any HELP would be greatly appreciated !!!!!!!

You just need to have an analog lineup (basic) associated with both tuners of the PVR500 and a digital lineup (extended/premium) associated with the PVR150...

Thanks Fonceur for the help,

But, what part of BTV4.5 do you do this association with? How exactly do you specifiy which tuner to use for Digital and for Analog?

Thanks,

Mike

Adaptec IR Blaster is also set up for the cable box.
Windows XP pro

The first possibility is to rerun the BTV wizard, from there you can select/add lineups and associate them to the right tuners.

Alternatively, if the lineups are already defined (either from the wizard or snapstream.net), you can also simply open up the web admin (http://localhost:8129), go to settings, with Audio and Video inputs you will be able to associate them, with Channels you can hide the un-needed channels.
