Hi
Can anyone help please. I have a Hauppauge Nova-T-500 Dual DVB-T tuner card
in my HP Pavilion Comp.
How can I get vista media centre to be able to use a dual tuner, so that I
can record one tv channel and watch another. Or should I use the program
that came with it.I do like media centre although I cannot find where it
stores any recorded tv on my hard drive.
Also what is the easiest way to partition my hard drive without having to
reinstall Vista.
Thanks for any help you may have.

I would use partition magic for the hard drive.
As for the TV tuner, no idea.

I have that card and just went through the various 'Tasks - Settings -
TV' setups in Media Centre ( recording, tuning, program guide,
monitor/TV etc. for Freeview in my case). Selection of tuner for record
and view seems to be automatic - first come first served. My storage
location is 'Recorded TV' within the Public folder, I think that was the
default, but this can be changed and other folders added in the Media
Centre setups.

Or are you saying that these setups have not worked for you ?

Assuming that you are in the UK have a look at the appropriate (NTL?)
link in step 5 of

The graphics are old but the principle is shown. Freeview was simpler
and I don't use the remote :-)
