cfree, Thanks for your comments. My ultimate HTPC woudln't have a PVR of any kind. I would download all my HD content or play it off a optical disk. It would be small, slick and easy to use. The new Mac's are the closest to that so far.
PVR's are an interm technology to deal with the lack of downloadable content.
