[QUOTE="elsmandino, post: 1024795, member: 356020"] As per my signature, I am watching/recording both UK terrestrial and 28.2 channels via a Linux-based server that contains a couple of tuner cards. At the moment, only one of the tuner cards has HD - I really want four HD tuners for maximum flexibility. I originally chose to go with both Freeview and Satellite as there were channels on both that I wanted. However, due to the recent addition of Dave to 28.2E, I no longer have any need for Freeview (especially as it is often said that the satellite equivalents of the channels are better quality). I was going to go down the route of just replacing my single DVB-S2 tuner with a quad version. However, there are a number of drawbacks to this and I have decided to go consider a SAT>IP device instead. Can anyone recommend any model in particular or comment on any prior experiences with these? A few things in particular: * Even though I have a gigabit network, will recording/streaming multiple HD streams cause problems? * I currently have a Sky Minidish with a quad LNB. I really wanted to avoid drilling any more holes through my wall. Would a unicable LNB work just as well? * If I change over to a unicable LNB, would I have to change satellite dishes? I have heard that they are not really designed for minidishes. [/QUOTE]
