n addition to a built-in HD DVD recordable drive, the new DVRs also include dual tuners, adding the ability to record two digital HD television programs simultaneously.The units also integrate Toshiba's Vardia engine, which supports "significant enhancements to ease of use and performance, including faster drawing of the graphic user interface (GUI) and improved HD DVD disc operation," Toshiba said.
The Vardia engine adds two new capabilities to the double-recording process including: live chase play of a program as it is still being recorded; and playback and editing (chaptering, etc.) of other recorded programs while recording.
