Let's face, hardware wise all it would need is an Ethernet port, enough processing power to stream the video and a hard drive.

All the Scientific Atlanta Explorer models have this..

Not according to the datasheet. It isn't mentioned anywhere

The only reference I can find is this:

Virtual Multi-Room Capability
o RF output with IR inserter
allows second room to do
PVR functions

The US version, the 8300HD has a multi-room version, but its not the same box http://www.scientificatlanta.com/Pro...er8300HDMR.htm

Perhaps there is a new vbox on the way, and that is why virginmedia are giving 50% discount on the Vbox charge at the present time to offload there old stocks.
