While I currently only care about a maximum of two feeds, it might be nice during something like the Olympics to have more recording capability, so something I could expand to four feeds might be worth looking into.<br>

I'm hesitant about the HDHomeRun simply because I don't want another box, but if that's clearly the best choice I am willing to reconsider. On the other hand, I guess with the HDHomeRun I could simply dump the streams to the server in the first place, so that is an option.<br>

I haven't used any internal cards, so I can't really compare. <br><br> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">
Oh, and I also am going to want to reencode the MPEG-2 streams to h.264 (720p), though I expect to do that on the MacPro since it's a much faster machine. However, if anyone has any suggestions along those lines, I'm all ears.<br>
