Wish I had your bank account...... :-)<br><br>We dont have that much TV worth recording down here is AUS<br>Sound like a sweet setup, but you mightwant to dedicate one of thosemore powerfull backend to a transcoding/ com flagging server. (if you are doing transcoding/com flagging) with that amount of tv cards etc it would get quite busy.

<p><font face="Arial" size="2"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;">Reading through the docs it says that the master backend HAS
TO have at least one capture/tuner device. It suggests the "round robin"
approach. Can I, as they suggest, have 2 slave backends with a total of 5 tuners,
(DirecTV) and a 6<sup>th</sup> on the master. If I configure the tuners on the
slaves first, and the master last, then it will rarely, if ever, get used. Cool.
If I add 2 more tuners for a total of 7 on the slaves, can I delete the one on
the master, add the 2 additional on the slaves, then re-add the one (now 8th)
on the master. Making the 8<sup>th</sup> tuner hardly ever used.</span></font></p>
<p><font face="Arial" size="2"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;">How many tuners/devices do you guys have on your uber
systems?</span></font></p>

Plan B. Whatever that is.</span></font></p>
