Dual Card Poor Picture Quality Whilst Recording

[jfirth8187]

Hi all,

I've got a problem with my dual card setup. Technotrend C1501's. Whilst recording on the first card and watching a channel on the second, the second card looses signal strength, down to about 83% and then the picture starts to break up and then finally stalls.

What do I need to sort this???

Thanks Jon.

Do you have any attenuators connected? Try removing those. Failing that you will need to boost the signal with an amplifier I'g guess.

probably due to whay cyan states but as these are budget cards they rely on the cpu to do the decoding, maybe ur processor is struggling when both are running - try looking at the cpu resource when using both.
