... Now if I understand they either already have an upgrade or are planning one very soon to let you hook up both of the 522's outputs to one tv and then you would not need the VCR to do what you want.
Here are some of the scenarios you could use if you get the update.
1. Record 2 shows at once and view a 3rd one that you already have recorded.
2. Record one show and watch another show live.
3. Now of course that takes the 2nd tv out of the equation and that is one of the strongest selling points of the 522. But if my info is correct you should be able to use both tuner outputs on one tv very soon.
Folks please help me out if I'm wrong about the 522 I sure do not want to mislead anyone.
Thanks,
Bob
