It'll have a built-in tuner, I imagine, so you'll be able to watch a channel while recording another. That's the major limitation of the TiVo, though to be fair the intention is to alter your viewing habits so this doesn't become an issue. You can watch a previously-recorded show while recording something else, you see. Congrats :-) Heh, their new box should be arriving soon, actually.

The computer programmer/scientist in me is wondering when they will abstract the process and give you n tuners where n is any number you have the patience to wait for the crappy cpu in the box to crunch. Dumb ass mofos. So we had tivo and then sky plus. Given how long this stuff has been out you'd think someone was working on fast software tuners. Foolish mortals! Hmm, that would sound better if I wasn't a foolish mortal too :( --- hmm, so we had one tuner, now we have two.
