Recently I had the idea for a multiple tuner card, multiple tv set up, that way there would be one central dvr for everyone who wants to use it (2 or 3 people). The object was to have the tv's be able to all tune/record their own channels at once. I'd just run a remote control cable to each tv to take care of the remote problem. Assuming I have a computer that can handle all the load and hardware space, is this even possible?

<br><br>Better setup would be having some kind of frontend hooked up to each tv connecting to the backend. Most people with multi-room setup do this. Frontends can be anything from Hauppage's MVP to old Xbox to full blown Linux box.
