Can I record from my satellite or digital cable system? How many set-top boxes will I need?
Yes, SnapStream has full support for recording from digital cable and satellite television sources. For a SnapStream setup involving satellite or digital cable, you will need one set-top box (provided by your television provider) for each tuner. For example, if you are setting up a 10-tuner SnapStream to record from a satellite provider television system, you will need 10 satellite set-top boxes (one for each input). For most television sources that require a set-top box, SnapStream controls each set-top box using an IR blaster (see our IR blaster quick-start guide). For compatible set-top boxes that require serial tuning, (see our serial tuning quick-start guide).
