A few tuner questions (and a dual tuner one)
Posted by Sean on February 26th, 2006


I have a few basic questions that I've been trying to research but cannot
find the answers to. I was hoping you guys could help me out.

1.) For dual tuner support, I need two set top boxes? As in, I need to have
two cable boxes? If so, why would anyone need two boxes in the same room
besides for dual tuner support?

2.) If I have a tuner connected to my cable box and someone wants to watch
TV using that same cable box, if they change the channel on the TV, will it
also change the channels on my computer?

3.) What format is TV recorded in? Are there any converters so I can convert
that to .avi so I can edit some footage with Adobe Premiere Pro?

I'm sure I have more questions, but that's all I can think of right now. All
help is appreciated. Thank you.

Yes, you would need two set top boxes. If you had two tv's in the same
room, and you wanted both to have access to all the channels you subscribed
to, you'd similarly need two set top boxes (one for each tv).

Yes

dvr-ms format. There are programs that can convert the dvr-ms files to
other formats.
