Shiloh,

Yes, I have cable feeding the PVR-500 (dual tuner capabilities), and 
DirecTV feeding the PVR-150.   Between the two, I have 3 inputs 
available for Myth, and with the 2 hdhr's that adds 4 more, so, in 
theory, I could record 7 shows simultaneously.  But the *reality* is 
more for having other machines being able to watch tv while the box is 
recording (tv in the guest bedroom for instance, guest would probably 
like to watch live tv...).
