Recording devices will record bit streams. This archaic notion that every component needs a tuner is beginning to go the way of buggy whips. The only exception to this is mobile/portable products that must work in stand alone mode. For fixed receivers, its time to move on to home networking and the logical use of shared tuners and storage.
