2 things that would make the 722 better than TiVo

I like the 722 except for 2 major things that it cannot do whereas TiVo can.

1. You come in and turn the TV on and it's already 20 minutes or so into a program. You want to record the program so you hit record. The things is, it will only record from that point on, it will not go back and record from the beginning of the program. TiVo will do this, it records what it's in the buffer so you get the entire program. Is there a trick on the 722 to record what's in the buffer as well?

2. Watching a pre-recorded program on the 722 kills the live TV buffer. So you watch a recorded program for 30 minutes and then you go back to live TV, it only picks up at that point and time. TiVo continues to record live TV even while you're watching a pre-recorded program. So when you exit out, if something was on the channel you previously had it on, you could rewind back 30 minutes. I wish the 722 could do this.

Just venting I guess. Other than these 2 features, I like the 722 a lot. But these are 2 biggies I wish it could do.

This works only if you're already on the correct channel, just fast rewind to the start of the program and press record.

No work around, need software change.

all I want out of the 722 is to get a HD transmission to both TVs lol.

If you leave it in single mode, but check the option where you can have another tv tuned to the same thing, i assume its still sd??? just like in dual mode.
