I set up a new pc yesterday with tvheadend to act as a tv server and have read in the past that the default tuner limit in linux is 8. So am just wondering could anyone tell me what needs to be done if i want to use more than 8 tuners? I am using ubuntu 12.04.
any help would be appreciated.

if you are going to do multiplex recording you might want to look into vdr instead of tvheadend.
multiplex recording in tvh is very basic.

I think you need to compile custom kernel that allow you use more than 8 adapters.
in linux/drivers/media/dvb/dvb-core/dvbdev.h #define DVB_MAX_ADAPTERS 8 is set to 8 i think need to change there, maybe to 16.
google for more info.
