As best I can figure out (from not having it) is that its basically just multiscreen, but done via WiFi.

Its got bells & whistles like 4K, and more tuners, but that basically seems to be what it is.

It also seems like the 'remote' boxes are just dumb receivers, using up one of the tuners on the main box if you want to watch a different channel (I saw a limit of 2 mentioned, not entirely sure what that refers too).
