Multiple System Tuners

#1

I have an older system that has an OTA tuner and WMC installed. I built a separate WMC system that hosts a Centon 6-tuner card. Question: can I leverage the OTC recording capability of the first WMC system somehow?

You can share it's recording drive than add it as a watched folder in the newer systems recorded tv. Why not just throw the OTA tuner into the new system though?

You could look at using DVBLink from DVBLogic, basically make the tuner available as a network tuner.

You can just put both tuners in the same PC, and use both. WMC will use OTA tuner for OTA programs, and Ceton for Cable programs.
