Multiple TV windows not working (Using dual tuner card)

[Lin Kuei Ominae]

Hello

I have the Dual Tuner digital WinTV-NOVA-TD-500 and the single tuner analog WinTV-PVR-350 pci tv-cards.
Both cards are correctly seen by my WinTV7 application and i can select perfectly fine channels from both cards (analog and digital channels are found and can be used).
I use WinXP professional.

However i can't figure out how to open multiple WinTV7 applications so i can see more than one TV channel at the same time.
According to the feature list of the WinTV7 application and the Nova-TD-500 card, i should be able to see at least 2 at the same time (the reason why i bought the Nova card) and with the additional PVR-350 card i should be actually able to see even 3 at the same time if i understood the WinTV7 feature list correctly.

Though i can't open more than one WinTV7 application at the same time (by starting multiple times the exe only one application opens) or find a special button in the Configuration to open a second WinTV7 application.

The product version of my WinTV7 is v7.0.27246
I found out already that there is a newer version 1.3c available, though i expect from the bought Dual Tuner card with the original CD version that the multi TV support is granted as predicted on the feature list, so i'm quite sure i missed something or do something wrong.

WinTV7 supports multiple-tuner, which means you can schedule multiple recordings at the same time, or be recording and watching live tv at the same time.

By default you can only open one instance of the application at a time, but if you really want to open a second one (so that you can be watching live tv in both), you can run "wintv7.exe -multi".

Thank you very much. The -multi parameter was exactly what i was looking for.

Is there a list available with all possible parameter? Maybe there are some more useful, but hidden features available.


vv Now if that isn't cool (3 TV channels at the same time)
