multple BT boxes with tuners on a network

I see alot of people here in their Sigs have multiple PCs on their home network with tuners in them and I am wondering what configuration do they use them in...

can BT and BT link use multiple severs at the same time... ie have all of the tuners available to each machine?

or are you running each machine separately in your houses?

Re: multple BT boxes with tuners on a network

my two systems run independently of each other but share the recordings between both. i am considering upgrading my btv3 unit to btv4 so i can use the link function embedded in the server. this way i can have them run independantly or connect link style to each other(so i won't have to run to and fro trying to maintain the two systems).

BTV does not have the ability to share tuners across PCs. I have three BTV servers, but each has a different function. One is the primary SD recorder, one is primary for Live TV/BTV links, and the third is primary for HD recording/testing. All record locally but folders are shared between the servers so I have the same recorded shows no matter which server/link that I use.

okay thanks for the input... i have seen myth be used with multiple "servers" and was wondering if someone figured it out here.
