When the hopper first came out the PTAT feature was the best thing since sliced bread because you could record so much using only one timer. But if I understand correctly, you can now record multiple network channels at the same time using only one tuner even with PTAT turned off. Is this correct?
As some of you may have read in another thread. I've been having a consistent issue with some of my shows I've saved from PTAT disappearing after the 8 day hold period ends. Every show I watch I have timers set for new episodes so they would get saved on the DVR automatically without me having to sift through the PTAT folder and watch or save from there. So I've been thinking, if the network shows all record using one tuner anyways. Why not turn PTAT off since my problems seems to stem from that anyway. If my thinking is correct, everything should record just like before. The only downside would be if I forget to set a timer for a new show, I can't go back a few days afterward and pull it from the PTAT folder (which I've never had to do anyway). So I'm just wondering if I'm missing anything? Is there another advantage I'm forgetting?
