    Default HVR 4000 - How many tuners?

    I have an HVR 4000 and Windows MCE 7 Pro, and I can't find a clear answer on this anywhere to what seems a really basic question; how many channels can I record with this card?

    I don't expect it to record two channels from the same input; I'd be happy if I could watch DVB-T BBC1 and record DVB-S ITV1, but if I try this I get told all tuners are in use, (which is one), so I must cancel the ITV recording, (on freesat) to watch BBC1 on terrestial digital.

    I'm sure it used to work occasionally when the PC was running XP Pro, (it's never really worked very well). Now the same PC has Win 7 MCE Pro, but I can never get it to work as it appears it should. It's a Pentium D 2.8 with 2GB RAM, and runs MCE and Squeezebox server only. Drivers for the HVR 4000 are the latest according to Windows.

    The HVR-4000 can only use one of DVB-S or DVB-T or Analog at any one time. (ie, like one tuner)

    The later HVR-4400 can do DVB-S at the same time as either DVB-T or Analog. (ie, like two tuners - one capable of DVB-S, the other capable of either DVB-T or analog).
