"What is a must have is six-times recording".
"What is a must have is six-times recording [where the new box records six shows simultaneously], that's what they really want."
Really?

What kind of square-eyed telly addict would you have to be to spot six unmissable things in the same time slot?

Re: "What is a must have is six-times recording".
Football matches is where it would come in handy, specifically Champions League. Being able to record 6 at once means you could record almost every match so there's less chance of missing out on the surprisingly great ones like the recent 8-4 Dortmund match.

Re: "What is a must have is six-times recording".
Why does it have to stop? If there is no downside to it then i don't see the issue.
There's already a huge thread on the box here btw http://www.cableforum.co.uk/board/sh...02913&page=104

Re: "What is a must have is six-times recording".
Its a nice to have, but seriously not a must have.
The most I have ever needed is three at the same time.
(Esp when almost everything is available on some form of catch-up service these days)

I've found it to be very useful at peak times.
No having to rearrange to record repeat showings on SD channels etc.

Re: "What is a must have is six-times recording".
Most of the shows I want to record are often within the 8pm to 11pm period, and I usually have to jiggle the recordings so that I catch some at other times or dates.
So the ability to record more at the original transmission time would be an advantage to me.

- Includes a 'Find My Remote' feature, in which the remote loudly beeps when a button is pressed on the front of the main TV box

That might be useful in our house.....

Sounds good to me I am always seeing clashes in my recordings, I really watch live TV as work shifts and I had adverts.

Re: "What is a must have is six-times recording".
I've never hit a recording clash on my TiVo, not once. But then I struggle to find many compelling shows to watch when I sit down to watch TV. Anything I want to see I've usually acquired anyhow.
