If multrec is supported with HDHRs, then 100 Mbit/s will not be
adequate.  Worst case with multirec you can be downloading all the
channels from each multiplex, all at the same time.  I am not sure
what the full bandwidth of an ATSC multiplex is, but more than two of
them at once will certainly be more than 100 Mbit/s.  I can see why
the original HDHRs were 100 Mbit/s, but I find it incredibly stupid
for them to still be making new ones that are only 100 Mbit/s.  And
quite insane when they have four tuners.
