MPEG4 HD DVR - Dual Tuner??

[golferx12]

I have seen a lot of speculation about when the new MPEG4 HD DVR receiver will be available. Does anyone know if this equipment will support the dual tuner functionality currently available on the HD Tivo DVR? I use this function constantly to watch two programs at once (switching back and forth during commercials). I sure hope that D* will still have this!

The "plans" are in this thread / document I think. If not, do a quick search either Scott or LonghornXP have posted about it a few times.

the HD-DVR will have dual tuners, as the R-10 and R-15 do. it will not however be like dishs two tuners to two tvs on different channels. you will be able to watch 1, record 2 or do the pic in pic as you do now. IMLO

The R-15 software does not currently let you switch between tuners.

So while you can record two programs at once, I doubt you'll be able to flip back and forth.

Allegedly, the R15 should support this in a future software upgrade. (And the HR20 too, I would venture.)
