How do I use mutiple computer to record shows?

I currently have a computer (amd atholon xp 1.2 gig with 1 gig of ram) running v3 of the software with a pvr-250, pvr250mce and two pvr-150. I am wonting to upgrade to Celeron 3.33 gig with 1 gig of ram. The new motherboard only has two usable PCI slots. I have bought an upgrade license to v6 and a license for sage recorder v1.5. Is there a way to spread the cards over multiple computers and control them from the sage v6 computer? I also have an ATI HDTV card and was hoping to add it to the mix. And any help would be most appreciated.

Thanks
Brian

Appendix G of the PDF manual talks about setting up network encoders. SageTV Recorder can be used with older tuners that it supports (probably the 250s that you have), but it is not being updated for newer tuners. A 2nd installation of the full SageTV app is now the way to do network encoding for newer hardware. The full version can be used as the network encoder and client UI on the 2nd PC.

Or you can use USB tuners to get around PCI slot limitations on one machine.

Another option would be to place any QAM tuners into a separate box, using the EVOTV option - thread is located in the General forum.
