Just setup my beloved ET9200 as a quad tuner. Twin DVB-S2 defualt + 1x PCTV Nano 290e DVB-T2 (http://www.pctvsystems.com/Products/ProductsEuropeAsia/Digitalproducts/PCTVnanoStickT2/tabid/248/language/en-GB/Default.aspx) + 1x Hauppauge WinTV NOVA-T DVB-T (http://www.world-of-satellite.co.uk/USB-Digital-Tuners/hauppauge-wintv-nova-t-stick-dvb-t-receiver-hi-speed-usb-00294)
Once both Tuners where installed and receiver had been rebooted I needed to set the ET9200 to recognise the PCTV Nano 290e before the Nova stick as Nova was showing as Tuner C, therefore the ET9200 was trying to tune Freeview HD through the Nova stick as it was the first terrestrial tuner being recognised. To swap the tuner around I followed Andyblac's advice. I had to rename the driver modules in /etc/modutils: -
1. rename em28xx-dvb to t1_em28xx-dvb
2. rename dvb-usb-dib0700 to t2_dvb-usb-dib0700
Through telnet do the following command: -
update-modules
Now reboot receiver.
Upon reboot Tuner C is now the PCTV Nabo 290e and Tuner D is the Nova T stick. Freeview HD (DVB-T2) channels now automatically tune through Tuner C. Only drawback I've found is if your recording say BBC One HD the receiver does not recognise which DVB-T2 channels are no longer available to tune and does not grey them out.
You can use two of the same model USB tuner sticks for DVB-T or DVB-T2 and you shouldn't have any issues. The above example is for anyone wanting to use two different model USB tuners, one DVB-T and the other DVB-T2, the DVB-T2 tuner needs to be recognised as Tuner C for the DVB-T2 channels to be tuned as the receiver just recognises them and Terrestrial tuners and is not as DVB-T or DVB-T2.
