Hi All

I think a lot of us have stumbled across a feature which is undocumented (or at least not well known about) on our Passions. I thought it would be a good idea to have a Post where we could share these little gems.

I will start off with this one :-

I think we all know that the P+ can record 1 channel whilst watching another, provided it is on the same frequency
BUT

how many of you know that you can actually record up to TWO channels at the same time whilst watching a THIRD channel provided it is on the same frequency !

I found a hidden limitation which can pop up when recording loads of small programs.

If the amount of recorded programs exceeds 256 the box will crash on opening the play back menu and reboot.
