The two tuners per DVR is at first blush a joke. But can two DVRs see the recordings on each other? Say program 1, 2, and 3 are on at the same time. Can I record programs 1 and 2 on 'living room' and record program 3 on 'family room', and later watch program 3 from 'living room'? Or is it on 'family room' only and that's that?
