Dual tuner, single buffer. That's what I've read so far.
I tape so much stuff that's on at the same time, I record on both tuners. You'll enjoy it

It has some pretty funny clips, but a terrible disappointment.

Some updates... 
20GB PS3
Not sure if I'd mentioned it, but a few weeks back now I purchased a 20GB PS3 to fulfill my Blu-Ray HD content playback. Of course, the games themselves are great, but I wanted the Blu-Ray player at this price point too -- best of both worlds. In fact, I couldn't be happier. I have a number of BD titles ordered through Amazon's current deal and should get them in by the 22nd. And, of course, I asked Mrs. Claus to put me on the "Good Kids" list
for a few other titles of interest.
Kensington Wireless Keyboard/Mouse
I also purchased a Kensington wireless keyboard & mouse to work with the PS3. So now my 61" Sammy pulls double-duty as a 61" monitor...while I bask in the comfort of my sofa.
Harmony 880 Universal Remote
Received a new toy this past week in the Harmony 880. WOW...I couldn't THROW that old nest of remotes away fast enough! Only thing the 880 doesn't fully control is the PS3, but there are rudimentary features that I'll be teaching it by this coming weekend [by using my old PS2 remote's IR dongle along with a Radio Shack USB-to-PS2 adapter] which will allow for general BD playback once the PS3 is already turned on.
Kyrocera KR1 EVDO Wi-Fi Router
Another recent add-in to my general home [electronics] improvements was the purchase of this nifty EVDO Wi-Fi Router by Kyrocera. This jimmy pulls triple-duty functioning as my base internet communication point, with a 4-port ethernet hub, and Wi-Fi comm through the house. So the PS3 is ethernet/patched to it, a desktop with networked deskjet printer is ethernet/patched to it, the wife's personal & business laptops are Wi-Fi'd to it, as is my PSP.
Sony even allows you to D/L PS1 games to your PSP.
:WHEW: Frankly...
I think I'm now officially on multi-tasking-electronic-stimulation overload

Come visit anytime, my friend
I just had Matt (aka soon2beS2Kn) and his g/f Leigh over this past Friday night to clear his corners. They were pretty well mesmerized. And Leigh is a damn-good driver!...she was quite impressive with the F1 demo download, as well as showing off her driving skills with NFS: Carbon.

I got hooked up with some HDTV last week.

Never worn glasses before, but at TV-viewing distance it's like I got a major quality upgrade on the system thanks to two little pieces of glass
It's true what they say... the body just starts falling apart at 30...
