Four tuners in one MCE 2005 PC

[mark.carline]

I have done a search in here (and also checked the FAQ) and dont seem to have found anything on this.

Does anyone know how easy it is to install four TV tuners in one MCE 2005 PC ?

I have one of the new Hauppauge NOVA-T-500 Dual DVB-T cards and I am very tempted to get another one.

Check this out from Kojak71. I have Nova 500 plus the original Avermedia A16 in a Sony XL-100 - recorded Heartbeat, Countdown and a third pile of drivel at the same time earlier .

nice one !

Just one question for anyone thats splitting their ariel - How are you doing it to ensure that you dont loose too much signal ?

Do you have a special Y splitter ?

i used a generic splitter from a tv shop. seemed ok - i had to make up some cables.

I have a strong signal though.

I too use a Y-splitter (Maplin) and have made up new cables.

I also benefit from a very strong signal - direct line of site to Ridge Hill. The original installation included a 9dB attenuator.
