Dual TV Tuners/Different Signals

[Guest John Adams]

Does anyone know if it is possible to have two TV tuners, each with a

separate type of signal?

 

In other words, could I have one tuner on analog cable and the other on

digital cable?

 

Will Media Center tolerate this, or does it need them to be the same?

Hi,

it should work ! As good as one hardware with another does (either from 2 or

1 manufacturer). What means : No guaranty at all.

If are on to buy some hardware, you may look for a Hybrid-Card that fits

your need.

Just for example : Hybrid DVB-T & Antenna-analog :

mediacenter don't tolerate this, it will work only with one type of signal.

you can have 2 tuners but both analog or both DVB.

 

you can use the other signal with a different software...

yes of course, it's no different than a tv and a vcr (all a vcr is a tuner

with no screen) my tv suppts PIP (pic in pic) and i use my tuner card to scan

the other channels while the tv maintains the program, hell with enough

splitters you could run as many tv cards as your system would allow (irq,mem,

lack of conflicts.)you only need one input source
