The thing about DVB over LAN is that you can place the tuner somewhere and watch the Streams somewhere else. This is what i want to do and I would only need one tune for it, but a PCI Card won't work. If someone needs to record n Transport Streams he/she needs n tuners. With One tuner per module he/she needs n modules and gets 100% efficiency. With 4 tuners per module he/she would need n/4 modules. With n = 5 this would waste 3 tuners. Besides Modules with one tuner should be cheaper in production even more if you sell more of them. 5,000 people needing 4 tuners are either 20,000 modules with one tuner or 1,000 modules with 4 tuners per module. Ask the people that produce the PCB s what they would prefer ;-) Regards, Lars
