You can expand that to 4 games pretty easy if youre willing to wait for the recall channel change. Each tuner remembers its own recall.
The other buttons I use alot are skip forward 30 seconds and skip back 5 seconds. These two buttons are enough of a reason why I could never trade my Bell receiver for a Shaw one. Each commercial skip takes about 3 seconds ... skip forward till the show starts, then back once or twice till the end of the last commercial. I could never ever deal with the hassle of fastforwarding and rewinding commercials like you have to with shaw. |
Actually, that's exactly how my newer Shaw PVR works as well. The buttons are labelled kind of stupidly. There's SKIP, which goes forward about 30 seconds, and a funny little back arrow key right under it which goes back about 10 seconds. I'm not trying to pick a fight here, I actually did prefer my Bell TV to Shaw, but When Shaw offered me a free dual-tuner HDPVR and a better bundled price than Bell, I couldn't say no, much as I still think Bell's quality was a little better.
