Willthe 500 support 2 S-video inputs?

[stanger89]

I believe it will via a header/breakout pannel (think SHS posted that somewhere).

Does anyone know if this supports dual S-video inputs?

It doesn't appear so ... visually .... or in text ...

WinTV-PVR-500MCE includes:

Dual 125 channel cable ready TV tuners, each with a dbx-TV stereo decoder (Nicam stereo decoder in Europe)

Dual high quality MPEG2 video and audio encoders based on the Conexant -416 MPEG encoder

One back panel composite/s-video plus stereo audio inputs to connect to VCR, camcorders or set top boxes

Two on-board A/V headers, to connect to two more A/V sources (A/V cable set not included)

One FM radio receiver

As I said in the other thread, read some of these threads on SHS's forum:

• WinTV-PVR 500 Screenshot (This is a DualTuner)
  
  
• Screenshot of Prototype Front A/V Panel

Pay attention to those "Two on-board A/V headers, to connect to two more A/V sources (A/V cable set not included)".

Ya I saw that afterwards, but still it is pretty bad you have to use a bay (which my system has none since mine looks like a normal system in my rack) or I have to mod it to have it in the read which is ideal.

Too bad they just didn't make it an external break out box ...

Maybe you can find an extrenal 3.5" enclose to stick it in and run it outside the box??
