First Impression....

.... is a mindless TiVo on steroids. It's simply brute force and
awkwardness. I'll wait for a significantly more sophisticated design
with a serious shot at full usr control.

In Japan Sony Vaio X series can record one week of every show in every single channel :)

Calculated record time.

My tivo, when recording at the least detailed quality, records about an hr per gig. 3 terabytes would be approximated 3000 hrs of recording.
Given that a week is 168 hrs long, that means that one could record about 17 channels of information
in that space.

These guys are easily impressed...

I'm still waiting for video on demand (VOD). Anytime, anywhere first-run movies and shows. When you get the studios and powers-that-be to offer that up, call me. That'll be impressive.

Until then, zzzzzzzzzzz.

It's interesting but...

Tivo is a better deal.. there is only about two chanels of anything worth watching. So a Tivo with 300 hour's of recording time is about all anyone would need...

Or you can just torrent the show's you want see. that is what most of the people I know do.

Nice idea but....

I'd rather have my home-made HD-DVR made with legacy components without the digital flag. At least I can record the few shows I want the way I want them.

No MPAA, I'm not even remotely interested in pirating your stuff.
