I still occasionally like to surf.

My dream would be a "super surfer" mode where your second card is used to
buffer the next channel in your surfing sequence.  Since most people are
"all up" or "all down" this would be farily straight forward to do I would
think.

Or maybe I just buy another dual tuenr card, so I can have four tuners and I
can go up/down and record something totally different while watching TV...

There was a patch to allow for recorded TV in PIP I think.  Why are TV and
recorded programs so different in the GUI?  Live tv you pick a channel to
watch, recorded you pick from a list...  Heck, throw in a "current DVD"
listing as well...
