2 Cards?! Will 2 of these work in the same system? If so, what would be the requirements to actually record 8 HD channels at the same time?

Hi Kevin,Yes two will work at the same time allowing you to record 8 HD channels. Most of the significant requirements are for playback, not recording, so the stated system requirements will work for recording 8 HD channels at the same time.Thanks,-Jeremy

Not anymore. Tuner Salad is no longer required to use more than one Ceton InfiniTV 4. Just try it and you will see. Of course the fine folks who make Tuner Salad also make a few other Media Center enhancements that you may wish to use.

NICE!! Now I just wish Tivo would allow you to purchase the Tivo software and install it on a custom built DVR. Premiere with 8 tuners! :)

You'll need to install Tuner Salad in order to use 8 tuners of the same type in Windows Media Center. Just Google "Tuner Salad". You'll find it.

You can assign what input Video One/Two/Three uses on the fly through the set-up menu. I didn't think my unit would pass HD until I figured out the input mode needed a source assigned. After assigning Video One to HD1 I was off to the races.

I don't think any 1 card could handle triple monitor support all at the same time. if they do - nvr came across on myself, usually cards have dual support but with multi ports, DVI, HDMI, and old school VGA. EVGA has great tech support - best bet would be to contact them.... Good luck - FYI - I like the card - no problems yet.. I play GW2 at max in 3D. If it dies support 3-4 monitors at once.. gona really take the life out of it fast...

Hi, thanks for contacting us. If you get a dms 59 cable this card will support two different monitors. If there is anything else I can do for you or if you have any other questions please let me know.Sincerely,Chris Nickels Red Planet Trading

No. However, my DirecTv HD-DVR allows for the recording of multiple programs while watching another channel. I would think yours does too.

As far as I know : NO! You can only record one channel at a time, and this recording will nlock the viewing of any other channel.

I see two 1x pci-e connectors, and even if they are already used up, if that extra 16x pci-e connector is vacant, it can also be used, I've done it myself. The rest is a matter of checking minimum requirements, but I don't see any reason why it shouldn't work. Happy capturing ;)

If you want to be able to record one program while watching another, you sort of need a tuner. I am using my converter box that I saved when I switched to HDTV.

You are better off using identical cards. Make sure you have a good power supply and good case cooling as 2 of these cards create a lot of heat.

How many can your computer handle. So far, I use Reason 7.1 and have not recorded more than two. I have not had a need for it. I imagine I should be able to record 4 though. I hope this helps.

You can stream to 3 pcs at the same time. And when you set them up be sure to have them point to each other's recorded tv folder to share recordings with each other.

Yes i have 5 of them each card record 1 hour 24 minutes. In 1080 200mbps it records 46 minutes.

I am no guru on PC's but Ceton has a description of the minimum system requirements to run both the 4 and 6 channels cards. I have a $400 Dell Desktop with a fairly slow speed processor and 4 GB of memory. I have no problems at all. It is a Dell Inspiron 570, which is a couple of years old. I can look at TV and record 3 shows at the same time.

Yes, I just did that with 5x of them and it works perfectly. They come with a single 4gb module and adding a second one improves the memory throughput as well because it then goes in dual channel mode. Just be sure to install it in the same color slot as the one that's already in there and you'll be all set. Hope that helps!

Yes. HDMI audio from this card supports 7 channels 192/24. Also bit stream blue-ray HD audio.

Yes. You can use one of the "projector" outputs for the second independent HD feed. Some of the specifics in your workflow will determine whether this works for you. Feel free to contact us for more details or for training on how to do this.

I haven't tried using more than one card. but I would imagine it should give each media card inserted a designator letter to access via your PC. Sorry I couldn't be more help.
