Question 2): Sorry, I mis spoke, I should have referenced "tuners" instead of hard drives. Our Tivo will allow us to switch amoung the four tuners where each of the retains the previous 30 minutes of programming/show. X1 does not do this. FYI The Tivo has a button on the remote to switch between the tuners.
Thank you.
the reason x1 does not have that feature is tivo has enforced their soon-expiring patent on the feature. As their patents expire at end of this year and through end of 2017 they sold their company to RoVI who has published a story saying basically that they want out of the box making business and will 'sell' service to other box-makers.
