Most standalone Tivos cannot, and no software update will allow them to. That would require two tuners, two MPEG encoders, and additional inputs that they don’t have. There are now Series 2 models that have this capability. Make sure to buy the dual tuner model. The DirecTV/Tivo combo boxes have dual tuner hardware and with the 2.5 software and two DirecTV inputs can record two things at once. The new Series 3 is able to record two things at once.
