This has proved to be a very useful feature of my Toshiba RS-TX20.

I used to have a DVR from Insight Communications here in Indy. It only required one cable going into it. Guess it would be the same with the DT Tivo. So happy they are finally releasing this though. Especially with the built-in ethernet! EnergyGuru,

Don't the STB's only let you watch one channel at a time? So would you need two STB's from your cable company do record two shows simultaneously on the tivo?

As of yet, no official announcement. Dual tuners and built in ethernet are nice features, but I was hoping for that cable card option. Will this have an impact on the Series 3 Tivo? Certainly a long overdue upgrade. [...] [...] Zatz Not Funny (and others) have some interesting details on an apparent new TiVo that has appeared on Amazon. As of yet, no official announcement.
