I've canned Comcast's lousy hardware and service in favor of Verizon's fiberwire based service.

I'm going with a MultiRoom DVR w/ MediaManager and HD, and linking the multiroom capability to two standard digital boxes in the bedrooms. And I'll be doing an HD box in the mediaroom/attic where my outlaw sleeps. I can't wait to get home and try everything out! I've had my Aquos for almost a year now and have yet to view an HD broadcast on it. Hopefully my first experience will be watching the Eagles against the Saints.

Something dumb about Verizon, and a warning to anyone else making a leap:
The MultiRoom DVR can only share recorded programs to the Standard Digital boxes, not the Digital HD boxes. What kind of crap that is, I dunno. We'll see, maybe a software update will address that down the line.
