Hi People,

Problem is Solved!
I was not able to purchase a 3-Way Splitter but did get a 4-Way Splitter from Dick Smith as Greg & Daniel suggested.

Hi All

I have been playing around with recording TV too.
On a PC though :-(

The annoying thing for me is 'program creep'.
The amount of time some programs run over is sometimes close to 15 minutes! This makes it tricky to use a single tuner to get subsequent shows on different channels.
A second tuner would fix this, allowing me to overlap recordings.

Yes, A second Tuner would allow this.

How does EyeTV handle this 'program creep'?
When you schedule a program in EyeTV does it record it at the time you set or does it just know when the show has begun and ended?

In EyeTV > Preferences > Recording  You can 'Extend Recordings'
I have mine set for:
Start:   2 mins before Scheduled
Finish: 15 mins after
"EyeTV will extend the recording by the amount selected if it can do so without conflicting with another scheduled recording."

What sort of performance hit might one notice while EyeTV is recording in the background of a DP450 Power Mac that is already slightly busy?

I use a Mac Mini exclusively for EyeTV nothing else.
I would assume that the busier your Power Mac is the performance would drop in EyeTV recording.
That's only my opinion, it may not be correct.

Cheers,

Ronni
