I don't quite get the hype surrounding the series 3. It's pretty cool, but it sounds like it is going to cost a ton, and then there is the monthly fee. I have a motorola 6412 and it only costs $10/month. No big cash outlay and I can use the firewire port to capture the HD streams to my PC. Unless they can use that Ethernet port for something other than the guide downloads (such as streaming content off to a PC) I can't see why someone would buy it.
