Cool!

Does anyone know if the Myth will be able to do overlapping recordings
on the same channel using the same tuner with the HDHR Prime?  It works
with the current HDHR, but I don't remember if Myth needs to use the
virtual tuner feature.

I'm really looking forward to the Prime so that I can ditch my existing
firewire setup.  I wish I could do the same with my flakey HD-PVR, but
unfortunately I'll still need that for some of the channels that I
subscribe to.
