[QUOTE="Tonteldoos, post: 207931, member: 689"] Can't comment on the previous post, but I have for some time now been running the HD (4-tuner version) and the SD decoder in Xtraview mode. I was really looking forward to the "record 3 watch 3" proposition, but in the end it was very underwhelming. You still end up with two completely discrete decoders with two discrete hard drives, and I have to switch between inputs entirely when "toggling" between decoders. I was, perhaps stupidly, expecting an integrated viewing/recording experience. So now the SD provides signal and recording-ability to the cottage, its TV2 mode never gets used and the HD PVR is used as our primary. Certainly not a life-threatening drawback, but don't expect the sum to equal more than the parts. Clever marketing on MC's part, but they would have been more accurate if they just said "Use a 2nd decoder at home for only 50 ZAR per month, as long as you stick a wire between them"... [/QUOTE]
