[mythtv-users] Highest number of simultaneous streams

[Justin Hornsby]

There's an open-source PVR system for Windows called MediaPortal.   They've tested a system with 7 tuners (three PVR500 cards and one PVR250) which was recording all 7 tuners for over 24 hours without a hitch.  If a Windows system can handle that (nothing particularly special about it either), then I'm sure Linux will cope - provided of course all the necessary things are in place (UDMA etc).

On my old Athlon 800 system - UDMA33, 256MB RAM, Via KT233 chipset, I never had any problems recording two dvb-t streams at the same time while watching another.  If that crappy old board could handle it, anything can ;-)  Though in the bigger scheme of things, maybe it's not quite as 'old' as some.
