</div>For nomenclature's sake, this should be rephrased to:<br>
<div><br>
"If you have N STBs, you can record N channels at once, as long as you have<br>
</div>N _capture devices_."<br>
<br>
In this case, capture devices would be an encoder or firewire port.<br>
<br>
The word "tuner" implies that the device "tunes" to a frequency. With the<br>
case of a STB, the STB is doing the tuning and just outputting the result.<br>
