Very interesting. Thanks. I can only assume that the bumpy ride you speak of is the possible ride that's coming up, because it sounds like the actual install and use of the service has gone well for you. If you don't mind me asking, is the $50 your monthly contract? That's not too bad I suppose.

If you eventually get the PVR (provided they stay in business and release one), the only two questions I would ask at that point would be how much it costs and how nice it is to use. It'll take something significantly cheaper than the HD Tivo for me to give up a Tivo interface.
