How much CPU / Memory for 5 tuners???
I'm thinking about retiring my windows media center, and switching to a sageTV client on my entertainment system. I'm wondering if I can move the Happague 350 (I think) dual tuner into my sageTV system which already has a single tuner and dual tuner Happague cards in it? It has an Athlon XP 2500, 1gig of memory and a terabyte of hard drive space.
I know Sage says 'no limit on the number of tuners, but is 5 pushing it? Mick

If it is a hauppuage dual tuner, then it is a PVR-500.
Nope, 5 hardware tuners would not be pushing that system at all. I run 2 PVR-500 and a PVR-150, and also record HD off a firewired STB off a similar box to yours.

The biggest issue you should run into is if you ever set up a network storage system using a Linux server. According to a n*x-literate friend my current setup is pushing the boundaries of efficiency for samba and I have occasional stuttering/skipping on the network storage that I don't have on local storage. That's with SD. I'd be afraid to chance an HD stream for archive recording; when I make the setup to HD though I'll probably test it anyway. I think M$ to M$ is much less of an issue.

can't comment on HD but i am running 2 500s and a 250 on an XP2800 with 512MB ram without any issues for SD recordings. I do get close to maxing out the memory at times and will upgrade to a gig as soon as i can find some cheap. The only CPU issue i have is with Showanalyzer - nothing to do with Sage.
