We already can.

Besides the ability to record more than one thing at a time (up to 6) 
the only thing this would give you is to have several frontends with the 
ability to watch live TV (and yes, still also record other things).

Been a while since I've looked, don't know.

I have 3 PVR-250 (one of them an MCE) and a pcHDTV card in one system.  
Only reason I don't have more is because I ran out of PCI slots.  Of 
course I don't record that much, nor do I have a lot of frontends (only 
1!).  Maybe I'll get a new MB with 6 PCI slots.  I've also been thinking 
about getting the Hauppauge PVR USB2 to experiment with and won't need 
anymore slots.
