<div>Keep in mind also that simultaneous recordings from one card are only available for channels that share a multiplex. At least with my QAM provided lineup from Comcast, this results in 3 or 4 sets of 2 channels. Meaning for me, it would be pointless to increase beyond 2 because I simply don't have more than 2 channels sharing a multiplex.
