TV Tuner Card Slots
I am a newbie to SageTV and not very computer savy. My question is: the PC I wish to use for SageTV has only one available slot for a TV Tuner Card. I would like to use two (extreme tv addict mode). Does anyone know of any hardware that can be hooked into a computer that would provide more slots? Something like a hub for slots rather than ports.

I don't know of anything like that (there probably are, but they're probably prohibitively expensive).
However what you could do is go with Hauppauge WinTV PVR USB2s. Either a combination of USB2 and 250 if you have USB2 on the motherboard, or a USB2 card and a couple USB2s if you don't. |

And, before the question is asked: yes, the PVR-USB2 records just as well as a 250. I have both & can't tell the difference between their recordings.
