[mythtv-users] A few MythTV and PVR250 questions.

[Oxygen]

I want to buy a set of 2 PVR-250 or any other hardware encoder (recomendations very welcome) and i will be recording 2 live feeds with them to burn to DVD.

So what i basically need doesnt involve changing channels, or anything like that, i only need the 2 cards to record at the same times on certain occations (most of the time only one will be working). This live feed is very important and cannot be loss, so there will be a VCR recording also for added security.

So, can i install mythTV and forget about TV listing and all that, and just have a button on my remote control to start recording from card 1, and another to start recording from card 2? (same goes for stop recording) and having a preview of both things as they go on a split screen, or something like the picture in picture?

Also to the PVR250 im watching at eBay are made for gateway and they say they must be placed on the middle PCI slot, so i assume i cant buy 2 of this and use them in the same computer? ill have to buy the retail ones?


Thanks in advance guys,

Oxy.
