You hear correctly... We're *dying* for the series 3 tivos to lower in price so we can have a proper HD DVR. For the time being we're using the RCN-provided dual tuner DVR (motorola POS), and as loyal tivo owners (directivo and s1, both upgraded), it is criminal what cable companies try to pass off as DVRs. It's not only the software, it's all around usability. I'm convinced the remote was designed by a sadist. I never realized just how perfect the tivo peanut remote was until I tried to use something else regularly. Now if they could just get the s3 in the $500 (or even $600, sigh) range.
ChadTower:
Hrm... just hooked up an Xbox via component.  Regular works fine, but 480p came up all garbled.

EDIT:

480p doesn't work with Fable... works with Knights of the Old Republic.  Anyone know anything about Xbox games having issues with some games with bad 480p?

It will be terrible as a computer monitor.  1366x768 might be fine for a 15" laptop LCD.   It isn't nearly high enough to display crisp fonts and such on a 30+" screen.
ChadTower:

Well, it looks pretty damn crisp to me at 800x600.  That's all I've tried so far.  DivX played via VGA looked better than the Svideo standard def signal does.
