Yeah it's possible, http://www.cnet.com.au/sony-playtv-ps3-339299333.htm

The PS3 has Play TV, a little add on box that you can use to watch one show while recording another or use the PS3 to game/watch a movie etc while you record. Why doesn't Microsoft have one? You'd have to ask them that.

probably because a ms version would be as popular as the sony version...  i.e. not popular at all.

 

MS would actually advertise the thing though. Sony never advertised PlayTV.

Because it would have been a waste of money to advertise it in the main market it was aimes at.. the UK.  As you know the UK is dominated by Sky+ and Virgin... plus set top PVR's cost buttons. 

The future of TV recorders is limited in any event.  Catch up services, iplayer, skyplayer, 4OD etc will make them less and less relevant as time passes.
