I'd potentially be keen to get in on that if possible. I am keen to get
three or more dvb-t tuners in my backend machine, but I have run out of PCI
slots. I have tried buying a few cheap USB sticks from HK/China, but the
sellers don't tend to know (or care) what chipset they use, and the ones I
received have poor or no Linux support.
I would like to move to the latest mythtv with multirec over the next few
months, but wonder about bandwidth issues with USB devices with multirec.
Does anyone have an idea how many recorders per device would be reasonable?
How many recorders per USB bus?
How are other people looking to solve multiple (say 3-4) recorders? Getting
a motherboard with more PCI slots doesn't seem to be viable. I don't want to
run another backend computer, and the current one is reasonably full. I
also have limited USB ports/buses (old Intel 6300ESB chipset).
