Previously I posted regarding having support for af9035 usb tuners... I was trying to get more tuners going to unlock the potential of the Duo2:

Well, I was able to get hold of a second Hauppauge Nova TD device. Now my duo2 has 7 tuners! Internally a dual dvb-s2 and a dvb-c/t, and externally two dual dvb-t devices (4 x vtuners). All these tuners work well individually. I have been testing using simultaneous combinations of satellite, terrestrial, internal and external tuners using these 7 tuners.
The situation is that the Duo2 only supports 4 tuners!!! simultaneously. I cannot use >4 tuners without having restrictions. For example when 5 tuners are in use, then playback of files is impossible. It doesn't matter what type of tuners I use, 4 tuners works fine (any combination of dvb-S2, dvb-c/t, internal, external) including 4 x vtuner.
This problem exists for Vix, OpenPLi, BH, and Vuplus images. I believe this may be a VU+ driver problem. They recently added support for 2 ==> 4 x vtuner for the Solo2 and Duo2. This means it is possible to have 6 tuners for a solo2, or 8 tuners for a duo2 (2 x dual internal tuners + 4 x vtuners).
If my assumption is correct, VU+ need to fix their drivers to complete the extra tuners support that they have started. They advertise that the box can handle 16 x simultaneous recordings... so it would be logical to use up to 8 x tuners. The error shown in logs suggests that not enough demux instances are available.
I have posted this info at http://vuplus.com/index.html and the BlackHole site as well. I'm not sure what priority (if any) will be given to this issue. It may be quite simple to provide extra demux's... not sure.
Regards.
