Thanks for your help. I tried your suggestion, and then, during the second
setup attempt, Media Center locked up the system -- ehrecvr went to 99
percent CPU, and I had to kill it. I'm going to keep trying, but I thought
each time you go into the TV signal setup, it clears out everything and
starts from scratch. Then it would be a matter of which analog tuner it sees
first, I guess. Is there any way to affect the order in which Media Center
configures the tuners?
Thanks again.
