HD PVR

HI, I have been holding off buying a HD PVR as I had hoped Motorola would release an newer version of the DCT 6412,  If I am correct the DCT 6412 was released in the fall of 2004. Is there an new model ready for release, bigger hard drive more efficient ASIC chips, maybe H.264, faster menus?

Standalone HD DVR

Looking for an option besides the soon-to-be-not-so-compatible HR10250 for recording HD content from both DirecTV and off-air sources. Currently have an integrated DirecTV/Tivo for standard-def with a 160 gig drive, but considering getting an HD set and want to do it ONCE. While the previous relationship between Tivo and DirecTV is history, there are those of us who like the Tivo programming system and would like something as close to that as we might find without having to wait until fall for a unit that is Mpeg4 compatible. Do any of the CE manufacturers have anything coming out (SOON!) that might fit the bill?

High Definition DVR

Currently have 2 Stand Alone Tivo's & I'm anxiously awaiting the series 3.  Between now and then I would really love to get an HD-DVR for my OTA HD shows.  I've search high and low and wanted to see what suggestions y'all might have. I have a Toshiba TV and the Symbio is an option - it uses the TV tuner.

How did you choose your PVR?

I have a PVR.  You have a PVR.  I know what made me buy mine, what made you pick yours over the other PVRs?  I'm specifically curious about features and pricing, although any factors you used in making your decision would be interesting.

What about a non TIVO PVR?

I want to buy a PVR that works like a VCR but I don't want to pay for the content guide fees of TIVO or Replay.

Where can I buy a HD based PVR that let's me control recording on my own?

I want to buy a second DVR for my second cable box in order to record and to cut DVDs that will be playable my existing region 1 DVD player.  What is a good, not necessarily cheap machine for this purpose?

DVR for Voom HDTV

Hello I'm looking to buy a DVR preferably PC based that records HD 1080i and 720p. Does anybody know of a company that sells the setup? I know that Tivo and Replay do not have a HD box the best they do is DVD quality.

iLo PVR any good?

I am looking for opinions on a new PVR made by iLo.  It has an 80 gig hard drive and a dvd burner.  It's sold through WalMart and only costs $278.

From some of the forum threads I've read about this, it seems like there were early issues due to bad firmware, but they have all be resolved with the recent updates.  It also appears to be very easy to replace the hard drive.  Just swap it out, format from the menu and you are done.

I haven't seen it at my local WalMart yet and I was just looking for some more info.
-- Ted (ed. note: hopefully not an employee of iLo ;)
