Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I've found myself using my PC for a lot of conversations lately, and I'm also considering recording a podcast to share with anyone who will listen. There are tons of USB headset / microphones out there, and I'm hoping someone has some solid recommendations based on experience. I'll consider both headsets and standalone mics, by the way, but I'd like to keep the bill under $100 if possible. Help!"
A review like this just cries out for a shootout. Telling us about the FIOS DVR is fine but how about a real comparison between the top DVR's out there. Now that would be constructive. Like the HR22 vs the 722 vs Cox vs FIOS vs Comcast vs TIVO. Price will be a consideration of course but I want to see head to head performance comparison baby. Bang for the buck and let the consumer make the final choice, with his pocket book. My guess, TIVO #1 followed by the 722 and then the HR22. Bang for the buck winner, the 722.
While I agree this would be a great feature, I don't see us doing it for two reasons.
1. Is that it is a logistical nightmare. No area has cox, comcast TWC, FiOS and BHN. DirecTV and Dish both require you sign a contract and don't send review units.
2. Not as useful as it sounds as most don't have a choice of their provider.
I think that is a great idea I have a choice of FIOS, TWC, DirecTV, Dish, OTA thats alot of choices and i did concerned what dvrs that each company has now I can't choose between cable company's like you were saying Ben but everyone else and I get 20hrs of HD on my FIOS dvr it used to be only 12 but after the last update we got a very! little bump.
