WOW, five of them. I have one and was contemplating another, but five :)

Does your R3610 run MythTV backend and if so, do you have TV-Tuners
attached? I'm wondering how it would cope with a couple of USB freeview
tunes recording at the same time as playback. I presume it would cope
fine but it would be nice to know before I press the buy button.
