According to my technician it is because V6 boxes can record 6 progs at once, therefore 2 boxes = 12 progs.

This is equivalent of 4 TiVo boxes so needs a better signal.

I don't know if there was a spare slot high up in the box or not - technician just said he had moved me up so I would get the quality of signal I needed.

I suppose it makes sense for distance to also be a factor, just seemed strange that the higher up you are the better signal you get.

Maybe this is because the top 1 takes what it needs then the 2nd etc, whilst those at the bottom get what's left?

Have to say on a Saturday particularly I am usually recording 5 or 6 HD progs on each box at any one time - so presumably needing a high quality signal?
