Cheers.
With my current DVR it's two things at once, either record two (although you can watch one of them) or record one and watch one. You can NOT record two and watch
a different one at the same time on the same DVR. Please read further. . .

So with each box, you can watch one program and record a second program, or you can record two different programs. So with three set top DVRs you can record six programs. AT&T Uverse is technically quite different, although a typical customer might not notice the difference.
Okay, but then Fios seems to be offering the ability to "send" a recording from one room to another. I can't do that with my Scientific Atlanta DVR.
Also, considering the networks in the past year adopted stupid "anti-TiVo" measures like having one program end at 10:02 PM (thus blocking you from using that slot to program a recording of a show starting on another network at 10:00), why is there no "box" that will let you do three at once?
I am very confused about all this.
