Ahh, but I'm using a STB, and each extra STB needs an extra
subscription, an extra blaster, an extra capture card.. etc...

This setup quickly becomes unwieldy and costly.

Thanks for the ref.
I do realise that this feature isn't straight forward.
I'm just curious as to whether there is any interest in pursuing its
implementation.

Cheers, Jeff.
