Not only that, but this feature would become moot if one tuner were recording a program.... :-/

You would have to enable/disable this on the fly, for channel surfing.
it's obviously only workable for incremential surfing in one
direction (going up, or going down).

This would also be useful for switching channels back and forth (aka,
hitting the 'last' button)... but you would probably be recording
anyway.

Hello,

I had an idea about how the delay might be reduced when changing
channels.  In a 2+ tuner system, can one tuner "leapfrog" the other and
start buffering the next or previous channel, depending on the direction
the user is surfing?

For example, I start at channel three.
Tuner two starts buffering channel four.




What if what I want to switch to is channel 7?



I go to channel four and start reading the buffer.
Tuner 1 starts buffering channel five.





What if I want to go to channel 71?



Would this work?





Just my 2 cents...

Cecil
