Re: More than Two Tuners in Vista MCE

You're correct, however for the purposes of Media Center, each OCUR device is treated as a digital tuner.

I know that OCUR stands for "Open Cable Uni-directional Receiver" and they
speak of it as a "receiver" and not a "tuner." I know that ATI has a product

Nowhere that I've seen. The only significant change between MCE 2005 and Vista, as far as tuners go are:

OCUR/Cable Card support in Vista
No need to install an analog tuner in order to install an HDTV tuner.

I believe that is true in the beta, but I thought they announced a higher
number will be available before release.

No, out of the box, you will still have support for up to two ATSC and up to
two HDTV tuners.

Does anyone know if Vista will support more than two tuners or will we
need to hack them in like we Currently do on MCE 2005.

Thanks for any Info

Robert
