Entertainment 2.0 #90: Week of a Thousand Tuners

PrintYou’re getting the show a bit early this week!  I decided that since August 19th is the two year anniversary of the show, I didn’t want to miss it.  It was this day in 2008 that the audio adventure began.  Thanks for sticking with us all the way through!

This week’s title for the show comes straight from the content.  Between the Tuner Salad release and the fact that CableLabs recently decided to allow tuner sharing, it’s all tuners this week.  Check the links below for all the info!

Our 100th episode sometime in October and we’re looking for ideas.  How should we celebrate this milestone?  Let us know!

  • Two years already? I've listened from the beginning and must say the show has definitely evolved from it's original beginnings. Keep up the good work guys!

  • Hi –
    Just listening to your podcast – congrats on 2 years – and thought I'd better clarify the 'unlimited tuners' capability of Big Screen EPG is in fact pretty much unlimited (well at least as many as you can fit in your machine or hang off USB). You can set any value (well 'byte' value so up to 255) when using this feature – and that will then set the max number of tuners 'per type of tuner'. So if you set the value as '32' – then that means 32 DVB-T + 32 Analog + 32 ATSC etc etc.. The difference between this and tuner salad is that tuner salad only allows up to a value of 8 (per type) – and big screen epg allows any byte value (up to 255).

  • Howdy, I'm one of the MCL developers. Just wanted to clarify a few points:
    1) RemotePotato is actually written by Carl from the UK- we have an agreement in place for him using my logos in his program, so I have a link on my site, but its not programmed by us!

    2) The tuner limit has since been tested in many other countries, and it has worked well there too.

    3) Microsoft has not contacted me about fixing it yet… so far so good!
