I hope I get this correct. To watch or record 2 programs, on two different transponders, you need two tuners and therefore 2 input lines. Same for 3,4,5 and 6 programs etc. etc. You just need to ensure, outside of VDR, that each line (coax) going to VDR can transport every transponder, and that at the same time. If, two or more programs are on the same transponder, then a single tuner can see them all. I think a FF card can "process" 3 streams on the same transponder without problems. I don't know if "process" differentiates between live-viewing and recording a program. I think the nettlebock (bottleneck) is on the PCI bus. "Third broadcasting" will therefore depend on whether that channel is on one of the transponders you are already tuned to with your two cards. Will the TS mods that Klaus is currently working on mean that the full stream of the transponder can be recorded? Or will the HW full-TS mod still be needed?
