Hopefully, this time, they'll write the soft-/firm-/middle-ware to dynamically detect the number of tuners available, as they should have done the first time (I would have).

When we all have TiVo boxes with multi-terabyte disks and multiple HDMI connectors it should be possible to watch four programmes on two screens (picture-in-picture) whilst recording another four for later viewing!

Right now this evening, even with +1 channels, I have such an overlap of programmes I want to watch, most of them new episodes, that I will have to wait until they are, hopefully, repeated later in the week. No PVR here at all yet but, if I had, with only one tuner recording I still don't think I would be able to catch them all.
