We've all had the ability to record 2 shows simultaneously because most homes have 2 VCR's and 2 TV's; so it isn't like making it possible on the one box is any big whoop.

Isn't really like the majority of people need to record 2 shows at once, considering the amount of people that are seasons ahead of cable and FTA shows; most just download one series and watch the other live.

TiVO is pointless to buy until there is enough range of channels to warrant using it. If you really want to record multiple shows at the same time, spend $400 bucks on 3 Combo drives and 3 Benchtop Tv's and record 3 Channels at the same time. Granted it isn't on a hard-drive.

Want to do it on a HD, get a tuner card for your PC and record directly to your PC. All you need is an aerial jack in the room and your set.

So yes, there are a couple of immediate, cheap alternatives to do that have been around for over 8 years. No need to rush either HD+2 or TiVO.

To the OP - the reason you heard it on channel 7 is that they're the ones pushing to bring it to market here. They are trying to stop the uptake of Foxtel, especially when the free to air channels are looking at launching HD channels sometime in the future.

At $700, and you can only use it on our free to air channels, it doesn't make sense here yet. In America cable TV is mainstream and Tivo can be used on it, meaning it's much more value for money.
