  Well that's news to me. I didn't know that you could record two programmes simultaneously.

  When the Autumn update comes through, you will be able to record three as long as one of them is an Internet channel.

  The boxes have two tuners and you can use both and watch a third if it is being broadcast on the same mux as one being recorded.
  
  So you can, for example, record BBC OneHD and Channel 5 and still watch Channel 4HD because all the HD channels are (currently) on the same frequency.
  
  One of the items on YouView's "to do" list is having an indication which channels can be watched in these circumstances.

  Currently watching C5, whilst taping BBC3 & Film 4.
  
  Hows that work then?
  
  Humax BT Youview box.

  
  It just does! ;-) Makes you wonder why it can't record all three though, right?

  It actually does record all three - the two scheduled recordings and the one being watched to the 2 hour buffer.
  
  The limit is likely due to the variety of possible hard drives that could be used in the different makes - so three "write heads" or virtual ones is the maximum allowed. In addition, there are only two tuners so it would be a problem in terms of scheduling three recordings especially as YouView will attempt to record a later showing if one fails.
