Will the next Sky+ have three HD tuners?

What’s better than a DVR that can record two channels at once? Easy. A DVR that can record three channels at once.

Over in the US, Moxi is stepping up its fight against Tivo by launching a new, high-end Digital Video Recorder that features a trio of HD TV tuners.

As the Moxi website points out, this enables the Moxi 3–Tuner HD DVR to either “record two shows at once while watching a third live program, or record three shows while playing back a fourth recorded show.”

The jet-black DVR boasts 500GB of internal storage space, giving the new Moxi box enough room to swing around 75 hours of 1080P HD recordings or around 300 hours of standard definition programming.

Usefully, this hard disk drive space is also expandable with up to 6.5 Terabytes of external eSATA drive storage.

The Moxi 3-Tuner HD DVR also gives its owners access to web–based content and services such as Netflix, Hulu and YouTube. While media streaming functionality can access music, photos and other media files on a networked computer.

As good as the Sky+ HD box is, by these standards it’s still got some serious catching up to do.
