I wouldn't know, we've never had DVR until today, but our set-up is 1 "Master box" or whatever, and 3 slaves (and 2 regular HD boxes). The recordings are only saved on the Master box, but the recordings can be set-up and watched from any of the 4 boxes. So the fact that it only saves to the master DVR box is irrelevant because I can set it to record from a slave, and then immediately watch it from that slave as well, so I see no difference in capabilities. But the best part about the X1 platform is the new interface which is MUCH MUCH MUCH easier to navigate, and then the whole voice control through your phone/tablet is a nice touch.
Than it's definitely better than this weak DVR set up on Xfinity. One box. Watch one show while recording another. That's it.
