My cableco offers the Cisco 9865HD - which has 8 tuners & 1TB of storage. But the real advantage is you can network in additional STBs so record once & watch on another TV.

 

OTOH, I has 3 of the older 2 tuner HD PVRs - one for each TV, so I have to plan where I want to watch stuff. Not as much storage space, but that does mean I can't let stuff sit unwatched forever. But the new STBs don't autoselect between 720p & 1080i, so I'll keep my old boxes.

Yeah, the TiVo Mega works with the TiVo mini for watching the content on other sets in the house. I wonder if the Mega even hooks up to a TV consider it's made for a server rack.

 

My folks have Dish and mom loves using the Joey to watch shows on other sets in the house. She'll often pause something on the set in the living room then resume watching it in bed.
