BTV4 & Hauppauge Cards-tuner selection

[rogerwilker]

I've installed a pair of mce cards(one 150 & a 500) in my xp pro system. I tried both BTV4 and SageTV. Really like BTV4 much better.

I'm having one problem related to my setup. I have comcast cable and had split the cable before the cable box so that I could tape shows on the 2-82 channels. So, I've switched that over to the 500mce. I then have a cable coming out of the cable box that I ran into the 150mce so that I could record premium channels(hbo,showtime, etc).

I set the tuner up on the 150 to use the cable box and set the channel to 3,etc. I'm not using a remote, so just planned on setting the appropriate channel on the cable box and the 150 tuner to channel 3(fixed).

I also went into the admin,audio & video source and even selected what shows use which tuner to record. However, it doesn't always happen that way. I missed 24 and a couple of other shows that were recorded using the wrong tuner.

Is there anyway to set tuner/recording guides?
