They changed how the tuners worked on the original VM Tivo a while back to improve performance. Each of the tuners used to "record" all the time, now just the channel you are watching "records" freeing up resources.

That's "record" as in being able to rewind each tuner an hour, not record as in selecting a show to record and stored until you delete. The other tuners are now inactive until required.
