How did you split the signal so many times and retain that quality that well?

We had to split 3 ways with an amplifier splitter and still lost (a bit of snow) a fair bit of quality.

Now, at the moment when all the limits are broken, and there's actually no software limit for the number of tuners that Mediaportal can use, only one last step is missing:

NETWORK CLIENT FOR TELEVISION.

All the other parts are not client server dependant and can be worked out with shared folder, mapped drives .....
But this should be next logical step - Network TV client .....

Powered taps maybe?

Hi,

Thanx for this nice testset and report. I am looking forward to the next ones (but do not forget to code people!

).

But as mentioned earlier in this post:

Now that you support 7 tuners how about me watching one program in the livingroom while my girlie is watching another program in the bedroom and my kid is listening to music in her room from the same pc??

When will we see that without a media extender?? just a monitor and a set of speakers would be the ideal situation.

and what about the idea implementing uPnP for using existing Client hardware as Hauppauge Media MVP ?

The skin is a modified version of BlueTwo, search the forum by username for eLow and you'll find the relevant thread and a download link.

With multiple tuners, will there be support for picture-in-picture in MP anytime soon?
