I think the issue people are having is that even 2 things are being recorded watching live tv is in effect a third recording to allow for pausing rewinding etc.

Each recording in the TiVo is seen as a discrete entity, this is why even if two things are recorded on the same channel two tuners are needed.

Technically it would be possible to use a single recording entity and index where recordings one and two start and stop within the recorded 'block'. This would be a lot more difficult to do and the way things are stored on the hard disk jumping into a recording is not exact and can result in strange artifacts on screen among other things.

Just my thoughts on the current limitations
