recording 2 programs at same time on sky+ hd box?

i used to believe you could only record one program at a time, but have just been told you can record the channel you are watching and another channel at same time. or record 2 channels and watch something off your planner. is this true? have not had chance to try this out yet.

    yes, it's true (and the only way we wach stuff now :) )

    if you record everything you're going to watch, then only watch it played back off the hard drive, you'll never have to watch another advert in your life :D

    I watched all of the X-Factor last night in around 30 minutes, spinning through the ads and some of the 'singing', you only need a few bars to know whether its crap or not!!
    That gum you like is coming back in style.

    This is of course true but it also depends which cable your local squirrel has chewed through after aforementioned installation ....
