said by amungus:must be an older one, or somehow disabled otherwise. I had a 120GB moto and especially liked it when they finally 'enabled' the dual tuners...
cable co's will not likely just abandon such an expensive investment this soon. like others have also said, having the actual box counts for a lot when there's "nothing on."
also have to agree w/G_Poobah on the ads thing... I loath huge annoying banner ads, esp. the one's which take up way too much screen, squeeze the picture, and serve no useful purpose other than to distract and interrupt. animating some idiot during whatever I'm watching is terribly annoying.
I wonder if they'll use both... keep your dvr for the 'main' tv and have the option for this on other tv's with just a cable card or standard digital box. not a bad idea, but I would rather have direct control of the unit plugged in to my tv.
USA network has some of the biggest annoying animated ads ive seen and they plaster them all over the show.
