4 tuners, but only two streams available at a time?
I ordered a 4 tuner Recast prior to it's release, receiving it on November 14. Overall, I really enjoy the unit, and it's relative ease of operation. It has a couple of "glitchy" things going on. For instance, when pausing live tv, often times the playback will jump a few frames for no apparent reason. Another interesting thing that I have noticed on a couple of occasions is when playing a program from the DVR, if another program starts recording, the program being viewed will stop. To continue viewing the program on the DVR, you have to go back to the DVR menu. Luckily, it will pick up where it left off, but a glitch none-the-less. The most disappointing thing I just yesterday discovered is even though I have the 4 tuner box, I can only watch 2 streams at a time, regardless of what their origin is (tuner or DVR). This means you can't even watch the same channel in 3 locations. I'm not sure what the reasoning of this restriction is, but the advertising of a 4 tuner box is a little misleading. Overall, I like the unit. I hope my observations above can be addressed in updates. Ken
