The best feature in the last releases was the "record multiple streams on 
same transponder". - Most of the german things are on 2 transponders:
1. RTL (including superrtl, rtl2, vox), 
2. pro7 (sat1, n24, tele5, kabel1)

So with 2 DVBs you can record this 8 channels.

I have in my setup 4 DVB-s, but since the "record multiple streams" I 
havent had any scenario with more then 2 concurrent DVB-cards used a while 
....

I have just 560 GB (raid-0) in my system - but never used more then ~ 300 
GB ....

Yes, we (me+girlfriend) watch all the stuff.

Yes, my girlfriend is tv-addicted ;)
