What services will allow you to watch and tape two different shows at the same time?

so say nbc and cbs both have a show in the same time slot that you want to watch... out of tivo, replay, AIW, etc, which ones will let you record one while you watch the other, and which ones won't? thanks

You "could" do it with a TiVo (or replay, AIW, etc.) Have two outputs from the cable box - one to the Tivo-->TVIN1 and the other straight into the 2nd TV Input (Coax vs. RCA for example). Have the TiVo record while you watch from the other input.

You can do it with UltimateTV. However you can't watch a differen't show during the same time you are recording 2 shows.
