HTPC troubles

[cdawall]

its getting kind of frustrating i have reinstalled windows 7 three times now trying to get the tuners to all mesh properly but they seem to think the most fun thing in the world is to disconnect in the middle of a TV show. i Have the latest ATi driver and the latest avermedia driver. the Avermedia seems like it is the only one that stays connected consistently.

tuners are

Diamond TVW750USB (http://www.amazon.com/Diamond-TVW750USB-ATI-Theater-Tuner/dp/B002UOUQ08) Ati Theatre Pro 750
MyGica (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004EG43FO)Ati Theatre Pro 750
Avermedia A868 (http://www.avermedia.com/avertv/Support/Download.aspx?Type=Document&id=173&tab=UserManual)

nothing fancy but they all work fine until they decide to be moody normally when 2 to 3 shows are downloaded at the same time.

so far i have tried a couple of things

reinstalled windows 3 or 4 times
reinstalled the tuners
updated the drivers
threw things


any other ideas? this is getting very frustrating

Try running the system with the Avermedia card and ONLY one ATI card. I have seen sometimes that 2 ATI cards don't like to play together.

It appears that ati's driver was garbage and using the older one available from diamond is working
