I do plan on getting one, but I'm gonna wait until the next generation. My problem is 80% of what I watch is sports, and I usually wanna watch them live, otherwise I end up hearing/reading the score accidentally before I watch it. It's hard to avoid... These things seem to be targeted much more at people who watch a lot of series, sitcoms, etc. I'd get use out of this maybe once or twice a week when I can't be around for the hockey game... And, of course, to have a complete archive of all the Simpsons and Family Guy episodes (without dealing with DVD's.)

Then again, I have a video capture card, large hard drives, and an infrared remote for my PC. Not as elegant as a PVR, but the net cost to me is $0.

Gotta save money for the Pearl anyway.
