Can i expand the number of simultaneous recordings with WHDVR?

I'm thinking of switching to WHDVR, but only beaing able to record two shows at the same time wouold be a problem. Is there a way -- multiple HDDVRs, maybe -- to increase this number to 4? Between me, my wife and kids, there are times when both DVRs are recording two shows, and that's not something she's willing to give up. I thouoght about keeping my DVR in the family room sperate from the system, but that would seem to go against the purpose of WHDVR.

 

Any ideas? Thanks.

Adding another DVR lets you record 4 at a time, three DVRs = 6 at a time etc. I believe WHDVR is limited to 15 or 16 DVRs... Each DVR can simultaneously record two programs, play something prerecorded locally and stream one recorded program to another receiver.

We have nothing but DVR's in our house.  One for Mamma, one for the Boy and one, finally, for me.  We share and watch each others programs, but we each decide what gets recorded on our own DVR.
