Shameless begging
shmokes:
The Series 3 Tivos, if I'm not mistaken, have six tuners in them! I kid you not (though you may only be able to use two at any given time). They even have two Cable Card slots, so instead of getting a cable box or Sattelite tuner from your provider you just get a Cable Card and the Tivo IS your set top box.
Anyway, they're just out and cost something ungodly like $700, but they look damned nice.
ChadTower:
6? What's that, two OTA, two standard, two HD?
$700 is too pricey, especially if I couldn't get NFL Sunday Ticket with it... not natively, anyway.

DirecTivos have two tuners in them. That is huge to me.

Nice. It's all about NFL Sundays, though. Need DirecTV for that.

Yeah . . . 2 cable tuners, 2 ATSC tuners (for high def over the air) and 2 regular old NTSC tuners. It's also got an OLED display on the front that shows what's currently recording and it can play back MPEG-4 video. And it has an external SATA port so you can add your own external hard drives to increase storage without having to hack the box. And a backlit remote. It seems like there are some other cool little features, but nothing pops into mind.
