Post subject:  What does it take to install a 2nd Tuner card?

I have a fairly solid setup running now.
I plan to setup a second box in the near future, move the MBE to that, etc. but can't get to that for a few weeks.

Due to changes in my providers ability to deliver "Distant Networks" all due to that SHVRA from years ago, I am going to be losing some of my lineup shortly.

This has a direct effect on some of the shows the wife has recording and watching because with fewer time zones to capture from she will lose some options.

I do have two dish receivers running and have already ran a line from the 2nd receiver into the room with the KM box.

My question, what might I expect to run into installing a second PVR 150 card into my KM box. I know I wouldn't be able to "easily" change channels on that distant receiver, but for the interim I can make it work. The card would just have to the use the RF input to record from that receiver.

I have searched this forum and the wiki. I see a few problems but they seem to be random for the most part. It appears numerous people are running more than one card. I didn't really see any info on setting up that second card.

Is it as simple as Plug it in, then run Mythtv-setup to install that second tuner card?

Thanks in Advance.
Andy
