3 PVR500s

Is it possible to run a system with 3 PVR500s installed?

Thanks

Absolutely. That's exactly the configuration I run in my system.

Bear in mind that your motherboard is a factor here. The consensus seems to be that Intel or nForce motherboards handle multiple tuners better than Via-based boards. I had some trouble getting two PVR500s to coexist peacefully in my A7V266-E. I wouldn't want to try adding a third PVR500 to that setup. So if you're building a new system, choose your motherboard carefully. If you're looking to install three PVR500s in an existing Via-based system, I'd say go slow and don't assume that it will just work.

Hey aperry! What are you doing here? Aren't you supposed to be working on the next release of the MovieTimes plugin


Sorry, just had to say it
