The following is for a master backend system I wish to build. I already have a combo front/backend using the Hauppauge 500 MCE dual tuner.<br><br>Let's say I had this board: ( <a href="http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131200" target="_blank">http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131200</a> ) which, as you can see supports Core 2 Duo. It also has 4 PCIe slots and 2 PCI slots. Now, I want to be able to record ATSC and QAM, so let's say I choose these cards ( <a href="http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16815116016" target="_blank">http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16815116016</a> ) and ( <a href="http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16815116009" target="_blank">http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16815116009</a> ) so that I can fill all 6 slots. <br>
<br>So with a Core 2 Due processor, would it be possible to have a six tuner setup? Anyone on the list actually have this many tuners in one box? Issues you encountered? <br><br>Thanks,<br><font color="#888888"><br>-- <br>

This backend serves two HDTV frontend machines. I've never seen any performance hit no matter how many shows I'm recording/watching at once.<br>
