Of course.. :-) Finnish DVB-T/C is on 3 transponders, the most important channels coming from 2 transponders. So to view other channel from other transponder than recording... DVB-S is just for free music channels.

One DVB-C is FF card, others are budget ones.

With my setup (ATA-100 disk) I have tried 4 simultaneous recording threads and a replay at the same time without any problems. I think I can push system even more, but my current fragmentation of /video -partition might cause too much IO-bottleneck. (Cutting 30min ~ 1GB recording used to take
about 30sec, now it takes about 2 minutes).
