1. Once you have your tv-cards correctly installed and working, look in /dev/dvb

adaptor0/demux0 dvr0 frontend0 net0
adaptor1/demux0 dvr0 frontend0 net0

2. In File Browser->View Click on "Show Hidden Files"
- then scroll through your home directory until you find .me-tv
- in ~/.me-tv, you should find these files:
- channels.conf
- epg.xml
- me-tv.config
- me-tv.log
- video.fifo
- xine.config
-------
3. Make a copy of me-tv.config and call it me-tv2.config
- open me-tv2.config in a text editor.
- look for these lines:
<add key="dvr_path" value="
<add key="demux_path" value="
<add key="frontend_path" value="
- change them to:
<add key="dvr_path" value="
<add key="demux_path" value="
<add key="frontend_path" value="
- look for this line:
<add key="xine.
- change it to:
<add key="xine.
- save the file.

6. Open a text editor.

sudo chmod 777 me-tv2

- a message will display - choose "run in terminal"
- this instance of Me-TV is now running on your second tv-card
- click on the normal Me-TV icon
- this instance of Me-TV is now running on your first tv-card
- you will need to mute one of the Me-TV's, as they will both be
playing audio at the same time.
- you can now record one program (make it muted) in one instance
while watching a different program, which is on at the same time,
in the other instance.
