922 and Recording

[kroag5000]

Hi! I've looked through the 922 threads and have seen this question posed but couldn't find the answer (I apologize if it was and I can't find it). Will you be able to record two HD programs at once (without using the OTA tuner)? Will you be able to watch a recorded show when recording two HD programs at once? And finally - how much of the hard drive is for recording - I saw that the press release mentioned that not all of the space was available to the customer for recording.

Thanks!

The last I checked you can record four HD shows at once using the OTA tuner and watch a recording while thats happening. That was a few releases ago, so I can't verify that they didn't disable that, but it wouldn't make sense.

I filled up my hard drive with around 230 hours of HD shows.

Think of the 922 like a 722k in that regard. Everything is the same as the 722k it even uses the same ota tuner cartridge.

It has 2 satellite tuners just like the 622 and 722. yes, yes, and I'm not sure about the last one, I know it has a 1 TB hard drive.
