Re: How did my TiVo record 4 programmes at once?

Not sure if this is what you are seeing but it is one possible explanation.
Could be.

I've also been told that it could be because the tivos actually have four tuners and that one is used as the modem.

I always thought that the TiVo only had three tuners and that it used one of them for VOD.

If I'm wrong, maybe as part of the latest TiVo update they've allowed the 4th tuner to record when no Internet services are required??
