That's the same DVR that I have! What a great little unit. The only thing that's ever bothered me about it is the 8-bit video processor, which left a lot of banding/posterization problems. But, other than that, it's been a real workhorse.

Sorry to hijack the thread. Each person has to determine the value of Tivo on their own. To me, the cost just wasn't worth it, but others would gladly pay even more for the service.

Either way you go, the DVR will change the way you watch TV forever. That's not an overstatement.
