Single tuner records 4 networks simultaneously?

1768 Views 2 Replies 3 Participants Last post by  Stewart Vernon
I see from the Hopper press release that while it only has 3 tuners, the new unit will be able to "record using a single tuner all of the primetime TV programming from ABC, CBS, FOX and NBC". Meaning I guess you can then simultaneously also record two other networks.

So how can one tuner record four different networks at the same time? Sounds like an awesome feature, but I'm curious how they're accomplishing that?

One tuner records the entire multiplexed local feed and splits it back out on the Hopper.
