    Thanks for posting this guide. News of this new feature is what made me finally decide to buy a Ceton, and not wait on the 3 tuner SiliconDust device. I’ve decided to buy a BD-enabled Atom/Ion or a Core i3 PC in the Spring for the bedroom. I’ll share one of the 4 tuners on that. The ZOTAC ZBOXHD-ID34BR is a front runner.

    Extenders never did everything I wanted of it, and now, I won’t have to compromise.

    I actually tested the Tuner Sharing on a ZOTAC AtomIon2.  Worked out great.

    The only downside is anything not marked Copy-Freely will need to be recorded on each HTPC if you want it viewable from anywhere.  This is honestly not a concern for me since only premium content is marked by Comcast as Copy-Once.  I also don’t archive Recorded TV.

    I’ll hopefully have my shared guide implementation released before the beta firmware goes public.
