I currently have one Dvico Fusion Gold+ card and was thinking about adding a second and possibly third card to the system. Before doing so, I wonder if anyone else has done it?

My concern is how one could change between tuners and change channels on different tuners from one remote. I'm curious as to how that would work...

The remote controls MythTV, not the card. Controlling multiple cards w/ one remote is a none issue.

Yes. I have two Dvico Fusions, one Plus and one Lite, in my box. It works well. You just need to add the second card through mythtv-setup then add the input connection between your guide data source and the second card. Once this is done, MythTV handles the selection of the card when watching live tv or recording.

I have two dvicos, a T1 (The original full height card) and a Lite. I'm not sure how similar these Australian cards are to the US models, but the Aussie ones work great. I use my second remote to control a diskless frontend elsewhere in the house.

Ditto here. One Plus, one lite.

soundoff:

Is your lite card second in the antenna chain? I have the antenna going to the lite and then a "jumper cable" going to the plus. I find the lite has the better reception. If I swap the order of the cards on the chain, the plus gets the better reception.

My guess is that there is a fair amount of signal loss on the passthrough ports of these cards. I bought a 2 port indoor antenna splitter/amplifier from Jaycar ($AU49.99) and that fixed the problem.

my antenna feed comes into the plus card, and then loops into the lite card.

I used to run only the lite card, the plus card is definately more sensitive.
