(To know your Orb version, click Orb tray icon - About)

If you have installed Orb on a PC with 2 or more TV tuners, you will not be able to configure Orb to only use a dedicated tuner or to not use a designated tuner. Orb will always look for and attempt to use an MPEG-2 tuner, if one is present. So, if you have 2 MPEG-2 tuners installed on your PC, you cannot configure Orb to ignore the tuner you wish to reserve exclusively for, say, Media Center.

Note: the only way to play TV locally in another PVR application (Media Center, BeyondTV, WinTV, etc.) while simultaneously streaming live TV via Orb, is by launching the Orb stream first then starting the local PVR application on your Orb PC.
