2 x ATI 750 - How to determine which one is PCIe or USB?

#1

Post by wayne1935 » Thu Feb 28, 2013 8:04 pm

I have an ATI 750 PCIe tuner and a ATI 750 USB tuner in a machine with Win 7 (64) MCE. Both tuners are found in setup and record but are listed only as ATI #1 and ATI #2.

Is there any way to determine which is the PCIe card and the USB device?

Go to Tasks--->Settings-->TV-->TV Signal-->Digital Tuner Diagnostics. Select a tuner, then select Digital Tuner Diagnostics again. The type of connection should be displayed. I am not sure if these steps work with a non-CableCard tuner, but it is worth a try.

wayne1935, have you considered purchasing a more recent cable card tuner such as a Ceton or Silicon Dust?

Scallica,

None of my tuners are cable card. I may be forced to go Cable card sometime but we currently get unencrypted QAM w/o any kind of box. In other words, I just connect the cable from the wall directly to the tuner(s).

I don't see a Digital Tuner Diagnostics option under TV Signal.

I have the option to Scan for more channels or Set Up TV Signal.

Do I have to start the Set Up from scratch? or might this just be an option if you've a cable card?
