About to kit my system with tuners and have some confusion about the 
capabilities of the Skystar 2 card against the PVR cards. I've more or 
less decided to go the DVB-S route but would like the system to be 
capable of time-shifted recording. Is one Skystar all I need? If I want 
to capture additional simultaneous broadcasts available via DVB-S I need 
an additional Skystar for each right? At least until multiplexing is 
supported in MythTV.

This considered is there any use/advantage in having a PVR card as well 
other than for capture of channels not available via satellite.

Thanks,
Matt
