How many shows can HDHomerun Servio record at once?
Best answer: Based on which HDHomeRun tuner box you choose, you can record anywhere from 2-4 shows at once. The HDHomeRun Servio doesn't have a tuner so you will need to get an HDHomeRun device with a tuner to plug into the Servio — then it will act as a DVR for the tuners.
- Serving up DVR: HDHomeRun Servio ($150 at Best Buy)
- Tune in: HDHomeRun Connect Duo (From $80 at Amazon)
