Northern Ontario,
Is there any Expressvu box a bit cheaper than the 9242 PVR that would allow a 2 channel split screen or interchangeable picture in picture?
I don't really need the recording function...

Just curious....why do you need split screen tv?

Record one then watch the other later.

Northern Ontario,
I would still need a box with two tuners to do that......

I also like to watch the news on two different stations for comparison and accuracy.
My recall button is getting a lot of use;-)

Yes you do! :)

Once you have PVR ability to pause and rewind live TV, there's no going back. Now I hate my car radio, whenever I miss what someone said I go for the rewind.....oh yeah, no rewind button. :(

But sorry, no, don't know of any other boxes, your choices are pretty limited. I've heard you can use TIVO hardware but your menu's won't be fully functional, but I don't know if that's true.
