I have been running a Velocity Micro with 2 ATI TV Wonder tuners. System works great but could really use 2 more tuners for those times when im recording 2 shows simo. I am reluctant to pull the ATI's and switch to a Ceton since everthing works so good now...I think you all know what I mean ! Can I just add an HDHR Prime plugged into my router will WMC recognize and use all 5 tuners. Will I need a TA for the HDHR Prime for the SDV channels ? I currently have 2 TA's ....1 for each ATI tuner (long island cablevision)
Thanks Ed
HDHomerun in conjunction with ATI Tuners?

You can only have 4 tuners of the same type in WMC. So without any modifications, you would only be able to use 4 of the 5 CableCARD tuners. If you get an InfiniTV, the InfiniTV driver will increase the tuner limit to 30. If you go with the HDHRP or any other device, you'll need to get TunerSalad, which will increase the tuner limit to 12.
You will also need 1 TA per physical tuning device....so one for each of your ATI tuners, and one for the new tuner.
