The TWC DVR box has two digital tuners on board. It can tune two channels simultaneously, which means you can record one while watching another, record two at the same time, even record two at the same time while playing back another recording.
And to answer your questtion, unattended recording is driven by selections you make in the digital cable channel guide. The tuner(s) will jump to whichever channel is running the selected show.
The box has a few shortcomings, but overall adds a lot of functionality.
The two biggest benefits for us have been not missing episodes of favorites shows or movies you've had your eye on, and building backlogs of quality material so that when you finally get some time to just flop in front of the set you won't have to put up with the "500 channels and nothing's on" syndrome.
