Patiently awaiting a cheaper 2nd generation product. Congrats on the new toy. I have gotten wrapped up in the frustration over DirecTV not giving us the Home Media Option, but the thing is, they give us a great product and let us use their services for $5 a month, regardless of how many you have in your household. 2 tuners and no recompression means that I'll stick with DirecTV as long as they keep offering Tivo they way they do. It's also good to know that they are still putting money into the product even though Hughes has been bought out.
