Well, there's three people in our house and three HDTVs and one regular TV. So if I'm watching HDTV Olympics in my room, a roommate is watching HDTV Weeds in his room, no one can watch and HDTV Angels game in the main room - or else one of us has to switch to SD.
Or, as was the case earlier this week, I wanted to watch the Olympics so I set two programs to record in SD on the DVR. Our renter wanted to watch HDTV as well, so there goes all 4 streams and no one else can watch TV. Once you have 3 or more people living in a house, all who want to watch their own thing and maybe record another program, you run into tons of problems. I don't know what we're going to do when the Fall season comes around and different people want to record different things...
Now that we've thrown 'em off the trail, use the form below to get in touch with the people at Engadget. Please fill in all of the required fields because they're required.
not being sarcastic, but how many streams would you need? 4HD total so you could DVR on two different TVs?
