Re: Monitor and LCD TV in one PC for diferrent uses

Also a dual tuner only supports watching one program and recording another
program or recording two programs. There is no way to have two TV programs
displaying at the same time on an MCE system. An extender is also a
solution to this problem since the extender does not have to be watching the
same TV program as the MCE System.
