You can _watch_ from multiple devices at once, though, and they claim to
be working on concurrent recording.

Actually, if I read that correctly, the only thing you can't do is
*automatic* recording to more than a single unit:

"The only real limitation is that while you can watch and manually
record live TV from multiple Live TV windows, automated recording is not
perfected.  EyeTV will pick the first available unit to record to; there
is no way to select which EyeTVs will record."

Thanks all for confirming what I suspected.

Are there any other systems (other than TiVo) for mac or PC that can
record multiple feeds simultaneously ?

I have and EyeTV 200 and an EyeTV 500 and can record from them
at the same time, even automatically. They have different channels, so
they do not get confused with each other.

The two major pieces of 3rd party PVR software on Windows, Snapstream and
SageTV, both support multiple feeds simultaneously. This is an area of
software that is pretty lacking on the Mac side of things.
