[QUOTE="HTPCSourcer, post: 1125755, member: 74879"] I thought that my explanation was clear - apparently not :) Recording has nothing to do with CAMs. MediaPortal will use the maximum of available tuners to display TV and/or record shows. In your case this means that you will be able to watch one and record [B]two[/B] [I]other[/I] channels at the same time, or - if you define the MePo settings accordingly - have the show that you are currently watching be interrupted and then record [B]three[/B] [I]other[/I] channels simultaneously.
