Hey everyone! I'm sitting here at work trying to figure out what to spend money on and I came across the idea of adding another dual tuner to my WMC7 system. I currently have a Hauppauge HD-2250 and it's been great to me. However, every so ofter I run into the issue of recording two shows off OTA and wanting to watch something else on another channel. Is it possible to simply add another 2250 and use it's tuners as well or would it need it's own antennae feed? If it does, that's not very practical for me as I already have a metric ton of cables running every which way and would rather not buy another antennae. I'm thinking it'd be possible to split the one cable I already have in place but I'm assuming that would degrade my already touchy signal and would rather not go that way. Thanks for clearing this up for me, AT!
As long as I'm here, I should ask about cable/satellite as well. I absolutely love the WMC7 interface and have everything set up to be controlled by my Harmony One. I seem to remember hearing that with Dish Network or DirecTV you use WMC7 as your control interface for the satellite box and DVR. Is this possible or am I simply making stuff up? Eventually, I plan on getting cable or satellite and it'd be a shame to not have a use for my HTPC anymore - it's just so useful to be able to switch into windows and look something up on the internet or something else. Thanks again!
