Not to hijack the thread, but the original question seems to have been
answered now, and I haven't seen this question asked....

Is there any advantage to keeping the number of virtual tuners low?  Why not
just set it to 10 for each card?

Here in Oz, we have at most 2 useful channels on a multiplex, but we badly
need to use start early and end late, making back-to-back recordings overlap.
 So I'd like to configure 4 virtual tuners on each of my 3 DVB cards.  Is
that going to overtax something?  I've got 1G of memory and an AMD64 3000+
(single core) CPU in my combined BE/FE box.
