While researching something else, I came across the following statement in a post on The Green Button:
This suggests that the writer had already done it, but I've never heard of such a thing: Is it really possible to attach more than one Hauppauge HDPVR to the same cable DVR, and have each HDPVR capture a different channel?
I asked the Brave Browser, and here's what it reported:
As we know, this could be an AI hallucination, but then there's that TGB post. Has anybody successfully done this in NextPVR? Would it require three computers in addition to three HDPVRs? Would it work for a set-top box as well as for a DVR?
Quote:I'd hate to go back to the multiple HDPVR route alone.

**Yes**, it is possible to use multiple HD-PVR devices with a single DVR setup, particularly when using software like **SageTV** or **NextPVR**.
* **Software Configuration**: In SageTV, you can configure the system to recognize and utilize multiple HD-PVR units, allowing them to tune to different channels simultaneously.
* **Channel Scanning**: Users have reported success by ensuring that **mc2xml** (used for TV guide data) is correctly configured; specifically, using a single token allows the system to handle multiple tuners without conflicts that might arise from separate guide downloads.
* **Tuning Independence**: Once configured, each HD-PVR can blast to its own channel independently, enabling the recording or viewing of different programs at the same time.
* **Limitations**: While multiple tuners allow for simultaneous recording, some legacy single-tuner DVRs or specific converter boxes may only allow one recording at a time, necessitating multiple hardware units to avoid conflicts.
