Just curious if there may be any hardware concerns to take into account or be wary of (signal strength across 4 tuners, etc.).<br><br>My BE is a P4 3.4ghzEE, 1.2gb ram, 500gb SATA+40gb IDE. Just checking to be sure.<br><br>
Thanks<br>Bob<br>
<br></blockquote><div><br>Bob, <br><br> I was running a PVR-500, PVR-250, HD-3000 and HD-5500 on a Dual-PII 866 with 512MB ram and 18GB SCSI system disk and dual 50GB SCSI video disks for Videos. <br><br> Granted, that was a few years ago, and on Fedora 4, but since the Analog cards are hardware encoders, I don't see any issues with adding a PVR-500 to your existing system. (You might need to add an amplifier - but perhaps not with a cable TV feed). I was only using the S-Video inputs on my PVR tuners, feeding them from Dish Network STBs.<br>
