So I've been thinking of having a large hdtv dedicated showing ~8 channels in split screen mode. What would be the best solution for this?
One option that is relatively easy to master is to have 8 standalone receivers connected to a separate Split Screen Processor such as this one: http://www.ambery.com/pr9vimipipvi1.html
It doesn't output sound nor hdtv quality + this solution requires quite a lot of hardware, not to forget it can be expensive. So how about if I buy a dedicated htpc computer with couple pci cards (2x4 tuners) instead and go from there? In this case it seems I need a proper software to do the splitting etc. since there probably aren't many video cards with 8 outputs or even 4 if I go with 2 cards.
What are your thoughts, recommendations? It's not an urgent thing but something I'd like to try at some point probably.
