record two programs at once with two computers?

[bnieco]

I'm very interested in SnapStream - just heard about it. I've two computers on my network and will add a third for PVR functionality.

Can I install SnapStream on two computers (each with a tuner card) and therefore record two programs at once?

Would they need separate cable feeds (dish network) or could I use a splitter?

I'm guessing that I would need a receiver and direct feed for each computer since SnapStream uses the receiver to decode the signal.

1) You'll need a seperate copy of snapstream for each computer -- but yes, you can install to each and record two programs at once -- given each is scheduled on a different computer.

2) I think there are actually splitter that can be used with dish network receivers, etc.... although, to my knowledge, they are a special type of splitter. But it can be done in anycase.

3) Yes -- the other option is multiple recievers....
