Don't know about the vanilla set top box but I've just got a V+ and it
has 2 tuners so can record 2 programmes while you watch another


2 tuners, to record 2 programmes and watch a another (third), there was
me thinking it had 3 tuners! ;-)

I also have a Topfield PVR which has duel tuners (that's 2) where I can
record two programmes and watch a third so I don't think three tuners
are compulsory :-)

Mind can the V+ box record from Sky 1 or 2, though?

I doubt it, it's connected to the Virgin Mediocre cable network, Virgin
have got a spat on with $ky so don't have any of their channels any
more.
