Myabe I'll get a 500 then. That'd be great to have two additional tuners. I eventually plan on getting an air2pc card as well, so that'll save a slot for that. I've never had to do a kernel patch, so I'm not sure if I'd have to do that or not for this to work. Also, a single 500 will work with 2 250s in the same backend in harmony? Thanks again as always Jarod.
