Re: Dual recordings
I know that there are other threads talking about Sky+ but I started this as a result of seeing the Register article and wondering if multiple recording facilities could technically be put in a NTL box. My NTL box, when I had it, used to get far hotter than any Sky box that I have seen with the viewing cards being badly scorched on each of the five or six boxes that I went through. I used to suffer from very bad picture quality with every NTL box that I had with freezing, stuttering and pixallation and these problems got worse when the outside temperature rose. NTL engineers told me that heat was a problem and that they could solve the immediate problem, but the fix would mean that problems returned when the weather cooled. If heat is a problem with NTL boxes then the extra heat generated by using multiple tuners could make them unviable. It may be that the heat problem is due to NTL wanting to pay as little as possible for the boxes and that spending a bit more may solve the problem. Only those in the know at NTL can tell us if that's the case. Come on you NTL people, what are your views on mulple tuner PVR NTL boxes?
