Tivo ISN'T recording all the time if you set the tuners to channels you don't get. I've seen this myself (and read about it elsewhere), that is, if you want to speed up the Tivo2Go transfers, set both tuners to channels you don't get. That turns off the live buffering which speeds up the transfers. I tried this a long time ago on my HD Tivo, and as I remember, there was a significant difference (even though I think it should be much better). For example, I have 2 cable cards installed, but I don't get a number of channels because of the SDV problem. I set the tuners to some SDV channels I can't receive, and voila.
The original point remains: did they do this in their evaluation?
