2 Video Capture cards?

Hi there

I recently purchased a geniatech C8000 video capture/tv tuner card and an adaptec gamebridge 1400 for my laptop.

I also have dscaler installed. My GPU is an nvidia 6100 geforce go and I have 2gb of system RAM and a 2.2ghz AMD Turion 64 CPU.

Problem is this though - When I try to run both the geniatech card and adaptec card at the same time my laptop crashes if I try to use both apps that came with them (hidtv and intervideo) and when I run the HiDTV app that came with the geniatech card after running dscaler (which I use to play my Xbox 360 through my laptops widescreen monitor) I have to reboot or it'll crash. And if I run dscaler whilst the intervideo app that came with the adaptec card is running or vice versa dscaler crashes.

In short I cannot it seems run both cards at once - which is what I want to do as I'd like to record the NFL games and other tv programs I have on my pvr to my HDD for watching away from home and play my Xbox 360/watch tv whilst doing so.

So question is this - is there a way to get both cards to run at the same time without crashing my laptop or having any problems?

Thanks in advance for any help/advice

 

Have you looked at other PVR software, like ChrisTV or Sage? IDK if would help, but here's a list of some of them. I read a lot of PVR stuff and most multi tuner PVRs are Hauppauge based.
