Is the kworld 115 supported out of the box in 8.10? I have one of these and I would like to add another tuner to my current pvr350 system. I'm hesitant to upgrade my working 8.04 (w/pvr-350) to 8.10 just to find out that the card doesn't work any better than it does in 8.04 and possible introduce issues into my current 8.04 install.

I gave it a half try last night by putting the 115 in a new pc and installing 8.04 as a slave BE but it didn't go so well. It detected the card ok but no hints on what type of card to select so I thought I remembered it was a DVB so that's what I tried. Added another listing to schedules direct for OTA. Ended up with doubled channels in my guide data - accidently removed all sources - which unscheduled all recordings on the master BE. I had to log onto the master BE and add the source back in for the cable channels and run mythfilldb again. I also noticed that the slave BE and the 115 did not show up in mythweb status. It only showed my pvr350 as usual but in the mythfrontend it showed 3 tuners.
Did I need to install the mythweb plugin on the slave BE too?

So I've given up on the slave BE idea for awhile. I don't have the time to sit and figure it out at the moment. If I get another pvr (150 or 350) card and just drop it into my current BE/FE do I still need to add another source from schedules direct for cable 1-99 (the pvr350 uses the STB and additional card would get basic)? Will that double my guide data?
