More than 1 tv card on the same machine

[Howe]

Hi alll

Has anybody probed with more than one tv card on the same machine? Y have to record more than one channel at the same time, and I have no idea if it is possible or if there is another possibility to do that.

Any ideas would be great, and bad ideas too...

These might help (or not):

Talks about how you can't yet set up different recording profiles:

Seems to indicate that multiple cards is possible:

I would dig a little more into the MythTV docs and see what it says.

Thankd, I have found too mythtv, it seems very good. I only have to know different things, like decide the distribution I will use, and compare differente rates of video and its amount of space in HD, and I will be able to start with an video archive system.

Any ideas about hardware recommended would be great... again

This is the hardware requirements section of the MythTV doc:

While there are definately minimums, if you want to create a PVR box you'll want the best pieces of whatever you have lying around. If you have even a minimal budget to spend, you'll be fine.
