544346 2007-04-25 23:31:00 If the same channel is fine for each set, you can use one box, possibly with an added distribution amplifier; but if each TV is to have individual channel selection, one box per TV is needed, perhaps with a distribution amp before any splitting of the incoming signal.
The set-top boxes available at present convert one channel at a time, so you can only record the channel you are watching, just like Sky.
Multi-tuner set-top boxes will probably be available "soon", but "soon" is a variable time.
