In the case of analog cable, only the one coaxial cable is necessary. With analog cable, every channel is transmitted over the same wire with differing RF frequencies, in 6 (NTSC/Annex B) or 8 (PAL/Annex A) MHz increments. The PVR-500 has two tuners in it, even though it only has one RF (coaxial) input, each tuner operates independantly.
For digital cable, then you'll be using either one coaxial and one S-Video/composite, or you can order the extra Composite/S-Video adapter from Hauppauge. -- Joe --- Dewey Smolka <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > I just have one more question.
