[QUOTE="mm1352000, post: 1059972, member: 82144"] Oh, I see how you could be confused. That list is completely generic. TV Server supports up to three inputs of each type per card. That is what that list shows, and that why you'll see there are also three HDMI inputs in the video list... but obviously the Colossus only has one HDMI input.
