I use the multiple vdr instance hack proposed in xineliboutput
documentation. My 2xDVB-T(dual tuners) and DVB-S2 cards are PCI and they
are in a separate "home server" that runs in non-living areas of the
house so noise doesn't matter. There are also several hard disks. 

I don't know what happens if that mobo dies. It could be difficult to
find motherboards with enough legacy PCI slots. I need four because
there's also one extra network card.

At least for dish I need PCI type of card because USB cards do not
output enough power for a motorized positioner.
