If you have 4 PCs at home and each assigned a specific Ceton InfiniTV tuner, I’m curious how protected recordings are handled.  

1. For any particular recording, would I be able to playback the content on the other 3 computers that are assigned to different InfiniTV tuner instances than the specific one this was recorded from ??  If not and you are using network storage, you will not want all your recordings commingled under the same folder.

2. Also, if you have a laptop assigned…can you take some of your recordings with you ex. on the plane, even though you are no longer connected to the network tuner ??

Thanks

Thanks for the review.  I think the product is great but it still suffers from one issue that plagues remotes…they can get lost.  That is why I think Kinect would make a better solution ultimately..doesn’t get lost, can detect who you are and also has a silent mode (gestures).  But that isn’t available for PCs yet and even if it did, some traditional users may feel uncomfortable with a camera tracking them.  So I think there is a market for Amulet’s wireless mic/remote.

Curious, does Amulet utilize the speech recognition engine/profiles in Windows 7?  I’ve already trained my convertible laptop and would like to use my existing speech profile.  Also does this work on extenders?

The channel changing performance is promising.  I’ve never used multiple tuners before in Media Center.  I’m looking to give my wife nearly instanteous channel flip between two channels.  Can that be achieved if we mark one channel for recording and tune another channel?  Essentially forcing a 2nd tuner to be used.  In this case, when she switches back to the show being recorded, Media Center is smart enough to just use the tuner/buffering already in use…without 2-3 sec delay.
