To buffer any channel, a dvb device must be locked to the same sat &
transponder the channel is on.  If you want to always buffer 5
channels, and 4 of them are on different transponders, you would need
to have 5 dvb devices installed to watch live tv.  4 devices dedicated
to those transponders and 1 available to surf any channels of live tv.

I can't honestly see the benefit of this over just setting timers to
record your favorite shows.  It seems like a lot of work & hardware
for something that there are better solutions for imo.  Maybe you
watch an unusually large amount of tv without every checking the guide
for future shows that might interest you?  ;)
