How many tuners can WMC support?

[Lady Fitzgerald]

I have one OTA dual tuner (has two tuners in one box) now that seems to be doing just fine. I would like to add a second dual tuner (and possibly a third in the future). I think WMC can handle up to four tuners (two dual tuners) but I don't know if it can handle anymore than that.

Found an MS article with this

Media Center supports a maximum of four analog TV tuners and four digital TV tuners per computer. (If your setup includes digital cable tuners, the maximum is four digital cable tuners.)

Thanks, David! Again, I'm not allowed to rep you.

You're welcome.
Don't worry about a rep, Thanks is reward enough

New Hack Unlocks Windows 7 Media Center

This may be worth a look. I have 2 ATSC tuners in 1 PC and 1 ATSC tuner in another PC. I have never bothered to configure the FM radio tuners or the anolog TV as there are no analog TV transmitters in the area. Low power analog stations are still allowed apparently......

Thanks, Tony! I've saved that information for possible future use. Right now, I'm using WMC's maximum of four tuners and it has been meeting my needs.
