I'm looking at setting up a MediaPortal system for my father - using a Pentium M 1.7GHz laptop. I'm thinking of setting up the following:
250GB Firewire External Hard Disk
Three Plextor PX-M402U External USB Tuners (one on each USB port on the laptop)
Windows XP Pro
Likely use cases:
recording 2 channels while watching a third
recording 3 channels simultaneously
Does anybody know if 3 USB tuners will work with Media Portal? Anyone aware of USB tuners that don't have problems coming out of standby? (I've seen several reports of this in the forums)
Or would he be better off using the three VCRs that he has right now ?
Thanks,
Bean
