How Many Tuners in 3.5?

[chumone]

Does anyone know if v3.5 support more than two tuners? how many more? Can you stream from each of them or will the BTV client allow you to connect to one tuner vs. the other?

Multiple tuners, suggests more than two. I can only guess that you are only limited by system components like RAM, HD, Motherboard, PCI slots, CPU speed, etc.

Yes, it will support more than two.
Hard drive speed becomes a limiting factor above 3 tuners, though.

good to know...looks like im gonna have to invest in a few more hdd's if im going to implement my 4 tuner scenario in the near future

I have a stupid question...

Do the tuners have to be identical? Right now I have a WinTV PCI card, but will be purchasing a PVR-250 within a few weeks.
