Because Viiv has been in the cards since the beginning, and dual buffers is something they're trying to hack out based on the wishes of the community.

ViiV was in the cards since day one, and has been worked on since.

Dual buffers was not... and thus still needs to be designed, developed and coded.

Great minds think alike.

I have to say, the title of this thread made me laugh.

My HR20 doesn't yet make toast! Grrrr!

So how about they shuffle those cards to keep/get the client base happy!

Not that I could do any of the work....But would be happy to test it for free!

How about "venting" in a well established thread instead of cluttering this place up with more of the same?

How about they get the features the HR20 is supposed to have working and stable first?

Am I the only one who could care less about dual buffers?

Not at all. I never used them on Tivo, and I don't care if the HR20 ever gets them.

I never used them on Tivo either for I never watch live TV anymore I record everything I want and watch it later that way I am not watching on the networks schedule but my own.

As a software developer I can tell you that there is probably a whole team of developers assigned to the HR20, broken into smaller groups working on different fixes and/or enhancements for the same unit.

Just because one feature comes out doesn't mean there aren't three or four other developers working on the the thing that matters most to you. It's not one geek with a laundry list of things to do working the list from top to bottom.

There is too much interest in Dual Live Buffers for me to believe it won't happen. I wouldn't be at all surprised if there were people already working on it.

 

[Stuart Sweet]

Well, you have to hope it's not like Wayne Knight in Jurassic Park, sitting in front of a big old SGI box cranking out "hacker s%#@" but I'll admit it might explain a thing or two.

Whoops, I think I ran over the Cheerleader on the way in....

Nothing like waiting a day or an hour to watch any sports event. Just so you can watch it via a recording. Not to mention the nasty way the HR-20 toggles between two events.....

I appreciate that there are / could be working on the feature. I would be happy to send them my $5.00 a month to speed up the process. I just think it is funny that the HR-20 now has TiiV support rather than TivO support.....Can't wait to hear those who buy them confusing the two.

ROFL !

Which brings us to what I hope doesn't become a daily question...

Hey Earl!!

Any News on this today?

Not by a long shot... The rest of us have figured out to record with both tuners and switch between recordings.
