recording more than 2 channels?

Is their a timeframe for implementing the software update to record more than two channels at the same time when in IP TV mode?

I don't think this has been discussed other than a hypothetical situation given that the IP tuners are virtual rather than physical ones .

At least it's being worked on so that's good news.

@WelshDave My switch to Internet mode prompted me to investigate my TV’s built-in recording capabilities (I'd noticed it in the past but never been that bothered to investigate). I bought an external hard disk drive, and I can now record some of the free-to-air channels that aren’t delivered via Internet mode (Talking Pictures, PBS) but that are available through Freeview on my TV. It’s also mitigated the two channel maximum issue a bit, but hopefully a fix will be along from BT at some point.

That's worth looking into!

Many thanks
