I have heard rumors that TiVo is coming out with new hardware with dual tuners that can record two programs simultaneously rather than just one. That would be enough of an improvement I would buy it without a second thought. Can anybody elaborate on this?

They're perfecting a "Digital "Demodulator" which will allow this. In theory you should be able to select just about any number of channels to demod (and therefore record from) at the same time. I am not sure of the actual performance, though.

And to correct an earlier comment which hinted that Linux is the OS on the TiVo, it's not - the OS is an enhanced version of pSOS.

Incidentally, has your TV got a SCART connector? If so, then why don't you just disconnect the UHF mod cable from the TV and use the TiVo tuner instead?
