</div>Agreed, though Myth has changed my personal definition of "watch TV".<br>
<br>
Since very little of my TV "watching" is live anymore, I might argue that a<br>
single tuner is sufficient to "watch TV" and record a program simultaneously.<br>
<br>
Since the OP almost certainly meant "watch live TV", then your answer is<br>
correct.<br>
<br>
My first Myth system had 4 capture devices, 2 connected to cable and 2 to<br>
satellite receivers. I have since decided that was overkill, since almost all<br>
the programming on cable can be found on satellite.<br>
<br>
About the only live TV I watch anymore is an hour or so of news in the<br>
morning, though lately I think that a news show recorded the previous day, or<br>
even the previous week or month, would be pretty much the same as the live<br>
show.<br>
