"any of the crap Motorola or Scientific Atlanta DVRs that cable companies usually foist on their highest-paying customers."
I just wanted to second that. Boy-o-boy those sure are crap. The regular Scientific Atlanta cable boxes are an absolute embarrassment to the software engineering community. (Which is what I have -- Optimum cable in NY).
@gadam07: And that's pretty much exactly what I said in that last paragraph, when I begrudgingly turned back to the TiVo. So, yes, more contenders = better.
Hulu you say? With this I can cancel my cable! But of course I would never do that because I'd want to use my awesome new DVR to record my favorite shows, which I of course won't bother recording because I can access them on Hulu!
Hmm.. I guess I'll have to pass. This thing opens up a personal paradox that will likely tear the space-time continuum of my soul.

Alas, finding HD tuner or capture cards that both work well and don't shit a brick over copy-protected content is another story..

Support some new competition in the DVR market.
That'll guarantee better products down the line.
