Agreed. They really needed an exit button. I don't like that design at all.

Unfortunately, since I'm in a townhouse, there really is nowhere to hide the gateway away, so we have it on one of the shelves of our entertainment unit and the portal sitting on top of it. It is a little loud and I wish we could hide it away as well. Maybe our next place I guess, as we are just renting.

Yes. Unless all 6 tuners are taken up. That's my understanding. So if you are recording 5 things and watching something live on one portal, I don't think you could watch something live on another portal. There are 6 tuners that allow recording/live TV watching. After that, all you could do is watch something previously recorded on another portal for example. At least that's the way it was explained to me. Not sure if with 6 tuners, that would ever be an issue though.
