Re: Hauppauge HVR-2200 - What a fantastic PCIe Dual Digital TV Tuner

My Dvico still works most of the time, so I'm wondering if anyone is using the Hauppauge and the Dvico together (enabling 4 tuners)? This would be mainly to enable recording of 3 shows at once (on those rare occurrences when there's actually more than 2 shows worth recording).

For those that are interested in the Hauppauge card, here's a link to an HVR-2200 fact sheet (pdf) which includes a high-res image of the card.
Hey, I have a better idea, get a HVR-2200, tie the Dvico card to a lump of concrete, and throw it off the back of a boat
Why run 4 tuners anyway? Its only free-to-air TV... seriously...
We'll have to see what happens with the running of 2 HVR-2200 cards. I hope for the cards sake (because its a great card on its own), the problems get sorted.
