PVR-500 with two STB: Inputs?
Hi all, thinking about upgrading my lonely single pvr card to two (finally!). So, i'm looking at the PVR-500 and was wondering about inputs. I know it only has one set of RCA's. It also has an S-video and then the coaxial input. It i need to input two STB's do i need to purchase the expansion card? Or, would i be able to use one set of RCA's and then the coaxial in for the other STB? I'm just trying to save a little money here and there and if i don't need the expansion card that would be great...
thanks JUC

If you buy a new PVR500 some vendors have been including the extra I/O bracket. Newegg for one. I bought mine there. Check with who you're buying from. Then you can hook up both STB via s-video.

I believe it comes from Hauppauge with the bracket...I remember seeing a post from PC Alchemy stating that if anyone didn't get one from them, they would send one out.
