I can record 2 channels while watching a third - only in SD. It was bought over 5 years ago and things have changed a lot since then.
When the current box dies, I'll go the MythTV route.
You have done better than me I have never been able to get the tuners working with MythTV I have trouble getting hardware working with linux as I don't have the command line knowledge you need
