I don't think that explanation makes that much sense as if that's true, then receivers wouldn't be the same box type either, they'd be in some goofy shape too. I think the shape is more for marketing than anything else.]]>Jan 12th 2008 12:15PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2008/01/12/ces-2008-the-best-of-set-top-boxes/http://hd.engadget.com/2008/01/12/ces-2008-the-best-of-set-top-boxes/Jan 12th 2008 5:38PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2008/01/12/ces-2008-the-best-of-set-top-boxes/http://hd.engadget.com/2008/01/12/ces-2008-the-best-of-set-top-boxes/
1. Ability to record broadcasts. (eliminates the need for a DVR)

2. Linux Desktop player. (don't care if it's open source or not, make sure it installs and uninstalls cleanly.)

3. Make it multi-user.

4. make it on par feature-wise with Tv's support for CC, XDS, etc.

Are you listening Sling? Complete this wish list and I'll buy 2 of them on principle.
