I have this feature for about 3 months now. I bought this because i was used to this feature in US and UK. Iam disappointed due to these reason
1. Only 1 tuner available i.e. i can watch and record the same program. In US there are at least 2 tuners and some vendors provides upto 5 tuners. You can watch a program and at the same time can record upto 4 programs.
2. Recording is limited by your USB/HD and also this USB/HDD cannot be used elsewhere. Internal memory is very fast and can record more than 1000 hours. With an USB/HD you need to do regular house keeping.
3. I have observed that the recording is erratic and sometimes the program fails to record completely. I haven't figured out the pattern yet, but iam sure there seems to some pattern to it.
Overall its a disappointment if you are used to recording feature abroad. I heard that the TataSky's feature is more advanced is has internal memory with 600 hours of HD recording. This should be good as i think they are partners of SKY in UK who have had recording features for years now.
