How many CableCards can be connected
I have seen the ATI USB model, a Niveus standalone box and I beleive on the
Sony is is an internal box. On the machines with it included I have only seen
one tuner mentioned. Now most of us who use a PVR no that one tuner is pretty
much useless. For instance last week I set the guide to record Earl and then
the Office.Well to catch the opening of The Office I had to fast forward to
the end of Earl to catch about 20 seconds. So I set future episodes to start
the recording 3 minutes early and end 3 minutes later.
SO I am hoping when these OEM boxes are up for sale that in the
configuration you can add atleast one cable card tuner. Personally I'd like
3. With two half hour shows on one channel and 1 show on another at the same
time the need for 3 tuners should be standard. Tivo knew this when they built
there latest Cable Card PVR. I really hope the ATI USB cablecard boxes are
for the consumers and we can add as many as we like.
