The "Favorite Channel" only allows channels to be set. I would rather skip on the VCR idea just because I'm planning on getting digital cable sometime soon.

Right now I have a remote that's usable with my HTPC. Would any of the programmable remotes work with it? It would be nice to only have one remote.

The plan is to connect from the HTPC to the 1070 with the DVI cable. Would I notice a difference between that and a S-Video cable?
