No, the hard drive is definitely capable of recording multiple
programs simultaneously. I don't have a link handy, but I've read
reviews of PC's with at least three Hauppauge dual-tuner cards
installed, recording 6 standard-def TV programs at the same time.
My guess is that manufacturers aren't willing to increase the cost to
cover a dual tuner setup when their market research indicates not
enough people would pay extra for the feature. Personally, I'd love to
have a quad-tuner model if they offered it.
