with 3 built in tuners, can i stream to 3 separate pc's concurrently, or would i have to use one WMC computer and 2 extenders?

As long as you have software on the device that can pick up the tuners... than you are ok. So 3 separate pic's with WMC will work. An extender, like xbox uses a PC.. so as long as 2-3 extenders are connected to separate computers than yes...

3 separate pc's concurrently. Remember if you are recording a show and watching another you are using 2 tuners. Make sure all tuners are programmed correctly as well. I went a year without being able to use one until I discovered I had one of my tuners configured for HD air antenna source and not cable tv.

Yes you can and you don't even need WMC. The HDHomeRun PRIME is DLNA certified so you can stream to any DNLA compliant device (i.e. a tablet, android phone, ipad, iphone, smart device, etc..)

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.

Hi Don's mom. Yes you may stream 3 separate pc's concurrently on one cable card as long as they are pc's running WMC, and not Mac's (I use Macs). You can also use an Xbox to receive the media as well. The thing to remember is this. If you are setting WMC to record a program that is using on tuner. Now you may only watch on 2 other units while the third one is recording. I hope this helps.

I only use one of the tuners for my Silicon Dust tuner and that works perfect to see HD TV from a computer monitor;you must pay for a media card from your cable company, about $2 a month. The other two can be for game consoles, media players or any DLNA compatible device.

At the same time? Probably not. Never tried but the way it's set up I don't think you can. It would have to choose which one to stream the audio from.

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.

Well you won't have any issues but you need to install the receiver on whatever computer you're working on. you can't have 2 receivers on each computer and hope the mouse will respond to each one separately, I can tell you because I have 2 receivers and I tried that. I tried using the 1 receiving on my desktop and hoping to install the 2nd receiver on my laptop, needless to say it didn't work I needed to remove the receiver from my desktop to my laptop in order to get it working without any issues.Hope that helps.

It is fine to have them all in the same frequency band. I have 4 running in the same band with no issues.

Yes BUT: The user then will not have 10 ports, there will be 1 upstream port on one device, plus 2 ports occupied for the "together" part. You will then have only 7 available downstream ports. Also, the bandwidth will be shared; Thus, only offering <120Kb/S per port (~13MB/S) if they are all loaded simultaneously. OK for sharing DSL, occasional files, or printing, but too slow for simultaneous use while streaming HDTV (IF the HDTV source or destination is upstream from the top hub. Across the hub, HDTV streaming works great, and still leaves a full 1000Mb/S bandwidth available upstream for my other 2 connected devices).

I am not really sure, I have only setup for three different locations at one time.

By default, WMC limits you to 4 tuners of each type (ClearQAM, Cable Card, ATSC, etc...) There is a program (TunerSalad) out there that will allow you to increase that limit to 32.

Yes, I don't know what the limit. We have 3 remote monitors going 24/7 and it works fine.
1136677
Yes, you can connect two of them, it should not matter but I would not run both at the same time.
1710199
yes, put the router cable in and you can run 4 other devices. the more you use at one time, might, slow down streaming. i use one to go to my computer, and my wireless router that runs the others.

You need one multi-stream cable card, which supports up to 4 tuners. Guess you received enough answers now!!

We're using 4 in our lab at work. They are ~2-4' apart from each other and have not had any problems. I would suggest that when you do the initial connection that they be isolated from the other setups.Since we have 4 workstations I used a silver Sharpie and wrote 1,2,3,4 on each mouse, keyboard USB dongle so that if someone mixed them up we can get them back to the proper workstation.Also, DON'T LOSE THE USB POD. They cannot be replaced and thus your out $55.Pet Peeve: Why post a response "I'm only using one at home". What's the point?

In practice, it works as well. I have been using a Vixia HV40 to stream church services, and I'm about to get another card to hook up a computer as well.

HI, If the audio you want to send to the two different receivers is the same, then you would use two of the same receiver with one transmitter. If you want different program to go to each receiver, then you would need two different complete systems. The transmitters and receivers are factory set to ONE frequency There are four different bands available for this 900 series. I hope this answers your question.

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.

Yes you can or you can use a splitter and do three that's how I have it and it plays fine for me good luck with yours
