This is another thing I had tried to ask in the post that got eaten by the board because it logs you out so quickly. I have a system that contains a TBS6985, a TBS6991SE, and a newly-added TBS6905 to give me ten tuner total. Prior to adding the 6905, the tuners appeared in a logical order, in other words the four tuners on the TBS6985 were on /dev/dvb/adapter0 through /dev/dvb/adapter3, while the TBS6991SE tuners were on /dev/dvb/adapter4 and /dev/dvb/adapter5. But since I added the TBS6905 the tuners seem to get mixed up, for example right now the TBS6905 is on adapters 0,2,3, and 6, while the TBS6985 is on adapters 1,4,5, and 7. The TBS6991SE is still on the last two tuners, adapters 8 and 9. This would only be a little confusing, and no big deal except I think maybe it is causing issues for TVHeadEnd, in that since adding the TBS6905 it seems that sometimes TVHeadEnd loses the configuration for some of the tuners if the system has to be powered off and later restarted.
Is there any way (without needing extreme Linux skills) to force the cards to certain adapter numbers (for example have the 6905 always get adapters 0-3, the 6985 get 4-7, and the 6991SE get 8 and 9)?
