There is the problem of clipping. If, for example, you have padding set before and after a programme and decide to record one programme starting at, say, eight o'clock and another at ten o'clock and don't wish to clip them you will only effectively have one tuner available for anything you might wish to record at nine o'clock when, IMO, the most interesting programmes tend to go out.

We got the TiVo update early hours of yesterday morning (30th August). Last night was by far the worst streaming experience to date - 3 failures in less than 10 mins so we gave up.
I've had the software update for a couple of weeks now. I've found that it made no difference to my original multi-room streaming problem although on Monday evening I did manage to watch a streamed film of 2+ hours all the way through without the by now familiar 'Network too slow' message. Whatever is causing this is probably more fundamental than a software update. I suspect it might be a hardware fault. I'm waiting for a new TV to be installed next month when I plan to swap the suspect (sending) TiVo and see if that fixes the problem.
