Hey group.

I have a problem that I'm not quite sure of here with 2 tuners.

In my BE i have 2 Hauppauge HVR-4000 quad tuners.
On my satelite I have 2 DUAL LNB - connected to a switch in pairs.
SAT1 on port A  - SAT2 on port B. So connected to the tunercards are 2 
exactly like connections.

On the card the setup goes like this.
DVB:0 - connected to switch - with 2lnb's
DVB:1 - connected to switch - with 2lnb's.

I've made a videolist on each LNB called lnb1 & lnb2. and the list are 
connected to the same lnb on each input.
The names are AA & AB || BA & BB - so AA & BA have listA and BA & BB 
have listB
So in my mind - I should be able to see 2 different channels - or record 
on one and see another.

But when watching from 2 different TV's, one of the persons are locking 
the different channels. So it's only possible to either watch the same 
or chose between the other input. And here's where it's goes wrong. 
changing the input's arent working - it seems like the two tuners are 
the same.
Shortly:
When TV1 are wacthing program4 and AA(using inputA). I cannot change to 
inputB and watch program5.
Seems like it thinks the two tuners are the same.
So should I make a videolist for EACH LNB ( so I got 4 different 
videolist instead of my 2 now)
Or how is it possible that it make this little trick ????  Or is it just 
the way my setup is ??
I just want to option of watching the 2 satelites (full list of 
channels) on each TV ? or record on thing and having full access to all 
channels still ?
What can be the problem.
