So it sounds like once you get beyond the pretty UI, there really isn't much worth getting excited about with this box. The Motorola box running Aptiv Passport that I rent from the cable company does most of what this thing does. And although it's $12/month, when it breaks, or a new model comes out with a bigger hard drive or some new features, I can get someone to come out and swap it out within a matter of days. And you still cant do carrier VOD on these boxes, correct?
That's correct, you can't do carrier VOD over CableCARD - the MOXI software /does/ have support for VOD built-in, though, as my Charter-supplied Moxi box let me receive and enjoy all manner of VOD content, and even sorted it leagues better than Charter's own boxes did. If CableLabs would quit being so stingy and paranoid with the specs, I'd put my money on Moxi supporting VOD before TiVo.
The new FiOS HD DVR, arguably the biggest update since Verizon released a DVR, thanks to its external storage support, enhanced multi-room functionality and slick new 16x9 HD user interface.
