For me it all would come down to cost and convenience. The channel changing issue kinda means you need to have 'something' in the room with the second TV, even if it's a relay box. And to be brutally honest, I still am astonished that a typical STB costs less than half what a crappy-quality laptop computer costs, so I would not pay $300 for a dual-TV STB if I could buy two "real" ones for $150 each.

And remember, my opinion plus two bucks gets you a cup of coffee.....

And how many channels do you think the Saturnians get? And are they commercial-free? Inquiring minds want to know.....
