those using multiple tuners , which MB are you using ?
I am planning to buy a mother board for my HTPC built around sage . I will be using a pvr 350 card and a pvr 250 MCE ( the one with the heatsink) . I was wondering what mother board all you were using, atleast those of you that have 2 or more tuners running stable.

For my recorder PC, I am running a Gigabyte GA-8IG1000MK and three PVR-250s. My playback machine is a 1 GHz EPIA-M holding a PVR-350. I don't have any problems with either configuration. I don't mix and match -250s with -350s.

I use the A7N266-VM board, 3 tuners plus a Radeon Vivo 64 video card, runs 24/7 until I reboot it, have had no hardware issues since I installed it, it is a Micro-Atx board and so my box is nice and small. I have 2 hard drives, 160 & 200 gig Western Digital drives, I use just straight onboard sound, but it is capable of AC3 onboard.

Asus P4P-800 w/ 4 tuners. All tuners are 250-16s and sage runs 24/7. I chose to forgo the onboard sound and use an Audigy instead, system is stable, probably because the tuners are identical.

Thanks for your replies. After reading Crowdx42 's post i went ahead and purchased a ASUS A7N266-VM board. Both my pvr 350 and 250 mce are I-15 chips. They should work ok right ?
Crowdx42, if you are using your MOBO in a mini ATX case which one are you using and which CPU fan are you using ?

My case is a REAL old case that was given to me, the power supply is an Antec 300watt, CPU is an Athlon 2000+ and I have 512mb OCZ memory in it. I just use the retail fan and heatsink on the cpu and have one case fan on the front.
The cpu fan could be quieter but it is fine for now. There was no real setup issues with this board and everything is working flawless since it's setup. Never a reboot unless I do it. Patrick
