AverMedia A180 "Dual Tuner Driver" supports 3 cards?

[jsidlosky]

I know it's a "Dual Tuner" driver, but I still want to ask, does it support only 2 cards, or 2+ cards?

I'm trying to run ATI HDTV Wonder along side two A180's, but the HDTV Wonder tuner keeps crapping out on me (stops recording and stops tuning, just a black screen) after a while.

I'd love to have 3 A180's.

This article may be misleading, but sounds like they have four (4) A180's in a single PC: http://news.ecoustics.com/bbs/messag...81/147821.html

Looks like they are running dual A180s and 2 analog tuners.

I wouldn't mind having the option of running more than 2, but someone else who posted here couldn't get it working. He contacted Avermedia who told him no.

You might have better luck with two A180s and one Fusion lite. I think the Fusion has a better tuner anyway, but that way each driver would be only driving what it's designed for, and the only issue would be Sage dealing with three cards.

I actually tried to run 3 A180 cards and they did not work on the last beta.

I asked AverMedia support if their driver would support more than 2 and they replied that it would not.

I have since switched to 3 DTA151 (or Cats Eye) cards and they are working as advertised.
