Whole-Home DVR Details

We are very interested in converting our home system to the Whole-Home DVR system.  However, I want to ensure that the flexibility is there.  My question is can you record two shows on the Whole-Home DVR receiver while watching a live show other than the two recorded shows on another receiver at the same time?  My wife has several periods where there are 2 shows being recorded at once.  So, you cannot watch a third show during this time on a HD - DVR.  It would be great to be able to go to another room and watch a show different than the two shows being recorded at the same time.

You can record shows "A" and "B" on the same DVR and watch show "C" on another receiver either live or recorded. Additionally, on the DVR that's recording shows "A" and "B", you can watch previously recorded shows on the same DVR or shows shared from another DVR via WHDVR.

You'd be a good candidate for two HD DVR's. If you could "educate" the Mrs. to record everything, she'd never have to leave her chair.
