Hi Gary, I am about to upgrade my Dual ATSC tuner card to a quad tuner card. I assume I don't need to wipe the Database just re-run tuner setup. Correct?
Thanks.

I believe that is correct. Still have to match the stations/channels afterwards, of course.stuartm wrote:Hi Gary, I am about to upgrade my Dual ATSC tuner card to a quad tuner card. I assume I don't need to wipe the Database just re-run tuner setup. Correct?

Tuner upgrade went really smoothly. Imaged my disk. Swapped in the new 4 tuner card for the old 2 tuner card. Installed the driver for the new card. Re-ran tuner setup. Had to manually add the VHF channels as per usual. Then ran an EPG guide update manually with automatch selected and everything populated fine. Didn't even lose my channel logos, they were all still there. Did have to re-enter my Favorite lineups. Now have twice as many OTA tuners as before. The Hauppauge QUAD HD card seems pretty nice.
