"Well this may be the first dual tuner HD DVR for Cable or OTA, but it is not the first dual tuner HD DVR. Dish Network has that, with their VIP622. In fact that is a triple tuner HD DVR"

The Series3 Tivo has a whopping SIX TUNERS. It has two tuners for analog cable and off-air channels, two digital cable tuners for digital cable programs (supports CableCard), and two ATSC tuners for off-air digital broadcasts. Content from all sources is integrated into a single guide, and you can record any combination of two programs simultaneously while watching a third previous recording. All digital channels are recorded at 100% original quality, unlike past Tivos.

In addition to a eSATA port supporting external hard drive expansion, the box has fully functional 100Mbps networking to integrate with your PC. With the bundled Tivo Desktop software, you can stream MPEG-2, MPEG-4, and VC-1 (WM9) recordings stored on your PC to your Series3 over the network. With TivoToGo software, you can transfer HDTV recordings (from the local networks) to your computer for backup or burning to a DVD / Blu-ray / HD-DVD disk.

Try doing that on your Dish / DirecTV DVR!
