How many tuners and viewers in your household?

Let's see who really needs to "get a life".

Don't know if I "formatted" the poll correctly. But I think you get the idea.

Note .. we are not talking about the number of "links" but rather the number of actual people who watch the shows you've recorded.

Oops. Then I answered wrong. My wife never watches all the Lifetime / HGTV / Fine Living crap she has me record for her. It just autodeletes before she even thinks about watching it. She does, however, watch "my shows" (i.e., Lost, Boston Legal, BSG).

Re: How many tuners and viewers in your household?

I see that the "one viewer" category is zero. Glad to see all you BTVers are sharing the experience.

Re: How many tuners and viewers in your household?

tragically I have 4 tuners in my house. 3 gathering dust and 1 in use.


(course, if ss adds proper caption support I'll put all 4 of them to use!)

just tuner cards, or all tuners in every tv/vcr/card/settopbox in the house?

Sorry that wasn't clear. I assumed since this is a Snapstream forum we would be talking about tuners being used for Beyond TV. So a set - top tuner box would qualify if it was being used by Beyond TV for recording.

Like how may tuners are you using with your Beyond TV setup ??

Re: How many tuners and viewers in your household?

4 TVs plus 3 tuner cards, if you count the PCs that can act as a TV, that means 6 TVs. That's an average of 2 TVs for each of us. That's sad, LOL.

All three of us use recorded programs from BTV.

The good part is that we really don't watch a bunch of TV. Just the stuff we want, where we want it, when we want it!

: )

Re: How many tuners and viewers in your household?

Thanks to all who replied. It looks like the majority of BTV users are running at LEAST 2 tuners and have on average 2 viewers in the house. I was surprised to see how many have 3 or more tuners.

More than 2 veiwers wasn't so much of a surprise though.
