There is one question I've been wanting to ask you about this setup Bill. 
In my box, the only two cards I have are the nvidia and the 1600. Because the nvidia takes up so much space, I don't have the space to put another card in such as one of the pvr-500 cards I bought.

So the question is, would there be a benefit in using one of my low power blades with a pvr-500 and having a backend or would I be better off using the 1600's input capabilities? 
At the moment, I can't recall if the 1600 can capture and record from atsc at the same time, that would be about the only possible loss I can imagine I guess.
