I don't understand people that want to watch one non-recorded show/while recording another. This to me is the strangest behavior of a PVR owner. I NEVER watch live TV. NEVER. One reason ... 30 Second Skip. It's been years since I've been 'forced' to watch commercials. Why would a person do this? I guess I just program in the shows I like and watch them the next day after they air. But then again, I plan the things I want to watch...I had some family stay with me for about 6 months and the only one that got it was the 7 year old. She understood the whole commercial-skip thing.
Dual-Tuner is a must I will admit. But this is just a matter of time for TiVo. As far as the monthly cost goes...I have 2 Series2 TiVo's and I just paid the lifetime subscription cost on both ($299 ea). It hurt at the time but in the long run...it was cheaper.
Since I can purchase space upgrades and such from places like weaknees.com...I find no limitations.
