Yeah, exactly what altis says - with dual tuners you can watch one channel whilst recording another... the only thing to be aware of is if you're using, for example, a set top box as the source for your recording, you won't obviously be able to watch one channel whilst the PVR records another (unless you have 2 set top boxes). But, with dual tuners, you can record something off your STB and then watch something on terrestrial or a freeview box that is also going through your PVR.
