The Ion2 box I have here does commflag in real-time as well as the Core2Duo box
downstairs.
Only for one recording at a time, but that's often more than good enough.

It also handles multiple digital tuners without issue,
and the USB2 buses can connect way more tuners than I'd ever need.

I agree that it might have issues with hundreds of channels
due to the high overhead of scheduling.
