Media Center Problem Since Adding Saorview

    I'm having a tough time trying to get Saorview and the Free to Air satellites channels working together in Windows Media Center.

    The problem seems to be that I can only have Soarview OR Satellite.
    When I try to tune both together, it would seem to tune in fine, but after a few minutes the TV picture would freeze and MC would crash.
    Restarting the program doesn't fix the crash, I get errors like "searching for tuners". I always have to restart the PC.

    I have a Medion MD8833 with the SAA 7131-Triple Capture tuner card in it.
    I'm running Windows 7 64-bit, quad-core,Ati 4850 and 3GB of ram.

    So, my Windows Media Center works flawlessly with either the satellite dish tuned in or the Saorview aerial tuned in, just not together.
    There seems to be some kind of conflict when using 2 tuners together or something.

    Anyone come across this problem?

    Okay, I seem to have found a solution for this.
    What I did was let Media Center scan both tuners with the DVB-T aerial plugged out!
    When all the satellite channels are tuned in, I plugged back in the DVB-T aerial.
    Then I went back to Tasks / TV Signal and 'Scan for more channels' and that brought in the digital Saorview channels.

    Now the channels are stable, no picture freezing or 'searching for tuner' errors.
    Bit of a workaround, but it worked for me.
    Hope it helps someone.
    :)
