| If you are looking at free to ait stuff (2,7,9,10,SBS) then with the TV Server, you can just add extra tuner cards which allows for streaming of a second channel, the more cards the more streams. I would suggest at least 2 so you can record a channel whilst watching another. A digital Tuner card (starts a $45 dollars) which will give you the SD and HD cahnnels (2,7,10 have different programs running sometimes).
For you Foxtel/Optus,etc you could only run one stream as the settop box will connect to an analogue tuner card within the TV Server. ( I don't have Pay TV so the card type might be different? |
Thank you both for your advice. Im just look at free to air HD and SD stuff charli. Can you recommend any TV cards at all, I'm still a little vague on the specifics at what I should be looking for in a TV Tuner. If I put two cards in, will that mean I'll be able to watch i.e. 10 on one Tellie while streams i.e. 7 to another computer hooked to a tellie?
