We all thought we would have to wait for the upcoming Series 3 TiVo to get two tuners in our beloved TiVo box, but apparently we were wrong. Over at Zatz Not Funny, they are reporting that there is a new Series 2 TiVo box for sale online that has dual TV tuners! According to the product page on Amazon, this new TiVo also has built in ethernet for connecting to a wired network.

While this updated Series 2 TiVo does not have the ability to record High Definition TV (HDTV) or Cablecard support, it has the most wanted feature right after HDTV - Dual Tuners! With the two built in tuners, you will be able to record one TV show while watching another live. There are some limitations to this — you can not record from two digital cable channels at the same time — only one basic cable channel and one digital cable channel or two basic cable channels at the same time.

All of this information is extremely preliminary and not verified. Right now, there is nothing on the official TiVo website and all of the information here is gathered from Amazon. You can’t even order this unit from Amazon yet, so I’m sure all of this information is subject to change at a moments notice. Still, it’s exciting to finally see a dual tuner TiVo coming out — if only it could record HDTV I would smash my Comcast / Scientific Atlanta 8300HD DVR to pieces!
