Only one interface should be used to control each tuner. This is the interface used by most other software. Tuners with device path starting " uuid:" use the CableLabs native UPnP/DRI interface. This is the interface used by Windows Media Center. Tuners with device path starting " use the Windows PBDA control interface. This is because MediaPortal supports two ways of controlling the tuner hardware. On 32 bit versions of Windows 7 or newer you may see each CableCARD tuner listed twice.

If you have a CableCARD, we recommend you disable (untick) the clear QAM wrapper tuners to avoid confusion. Tuners named like HDHomeRun Prime Tuner are capable of receiving encrypted cable channels tuners named like Silicondust HDHomeRun Tuner are physically the same tuners but are only capable of clear QAM. Silicondust created a "wrapper" for their HDHomeRun PRIME CableCARD tuners that allows software like MediaPortal to use them for clear QAM only.Note that you may see more tuners than you expect for three reasons: Close TV Server configuration, wait 30 seconds, then reopen. Tip If you don't see any tuners listed this indicates TV Server has not yet successfully detected your tuners. You should see one or more tuners listed as type Atsc.
