[mythtv-users] Most tuners in a single machine

[White Joe]

I had the use of a passive backplane about a year ago and tried it out
with 0.17 and 4 pvr250s.  It worked great!  Unfortunately, I had to give
the backplane back and with subsequent investigation decided it was much
cheaper and space efficient to create a secondary backend than to buy a
backplane.

Ultimately I'll have 3-4 front ends, plus want the ability to record at
the same time.
That means at LEAST 6 tuners. Even if I use the PVR-500, that's still 6
PCI slots. The additional input ports for the 2nd encoder on the PVR-500
takes up a PCI slot in the case, even if it doesn't take up a slot on
the
board.
Has anyone tried a passive backplane case for all of the additional
slots?
