Quad HD antenna tuner?

[snoopy]

Does such a thing exist?

If not, what is the best bet for at least 3 tuners?
Is SageTV equally stable over LINUX?

ATSC or NTSC?

the HDHomerun is a dual tuner ATSC tuner, i've been running two for quite a while.

Thanks, that is excellent!
ATSC is UK and NTSC is US. Is that correct?

If so, I may need NTSC.

ATSC is a digital tuner, NTSC is an analog tuner, both used in the US.

I have 3 USB Hauppauge 950Qs. They work fine recording 3 different OTA shows at the same time.

But not for much longer. NTSC is what's going away in the digital changeover. ATSC is what's replacing it. For broadcast HD, ATSC is what you want.

...everyone else beat me to it but....

NTSC is the old (50+ years) US analog Over The Air (OTA) television broadcast.

ATSC is the new ("digital changeover") digital OTA broadcast that was supposed to become the standard on Feb 17th.


ATSC should be up and running in every metro area in the US now, even though NTSC is still (for a short time) the required broadcast format. Here in Philly, it has been 3 years that all the local stations have been running ATSC on secondary broadcast antennas... if you buy new tuners, buy ATSC.
