HVR 1600 S-video input question

[johnsonx42]

nope, can only record 2 sources at any one time on that one...one digital...one analog..
and yes the analog encoder is shared with the tuner...
there is a haupp. card which can do what you wish all in one, but another digital tuner would be cheaper...
[i think the hvr2250 can do 4 at once,2 dig.2 analogs...]

no, the 2250 has two hyrbid tuners. strictly 2 programs at once, but can be both digital, both analog, or one of each. there is no hauppauge card that is literally equivalent to two 1600's or two 1800's.
