If E* is going to compete with the D* HD Tivo, then they must be able to add a second OTA tuner to permit watching local HDTV while recording local HDTV.

According to E* engineers at CES, there are no plans to add a second OTA tuner to the 921. And regardless, adding a 2nd OTA tuner would require a hardware upgrade in addition to software upgrades to make it work.

They will compete in other ways. Perhaps a future model (922?) will have a second OTA tuner.

Yes, but it will only be available on the digital home plan. Oh yeah and no commitment either. :lol:

Well, since the 921 has PCI expansion slots and removeable back plat, it could potentially be done, but don't hold your breath.
