I'm not sure if I have that limitation. I have it setup next to the server,
so I don't watch what's on it directly very often. When I do turn on that
TV, it does seem to only spit out via FireWire whatever it is playing at the
time, though. So, if I turn on the TV while it's recording, it'll show me
what's being recorded. I'd imagine that there's only a single tuner in the
thing and it just spits out whatever is tuned via all the outputs. Does the
3412 have more than one tuner?
I only have one FW cable connected, so I don't know what's coming out the
other one on the unit. I had assume that was for chaining multiple devices
together rather than getting a different channel output.
