Re: HD-PVR is it worth the hassle?
Like geoff, I locked my cable box at 1080i. The only time I have any problems is when it records the third show in a row on the same channel.
Aside from that, I love this box. It makes even SDTV programs look beautiful, and when I drop in to a channel showing 1080i, it's just plain gorgeous!
It also happens to be the only solution for getting high definition in to your PC from satellite and for non-local cable channels.
My only complaint is the restart bug, and now that I know when to expect it to happen (3rd show in a row), I can mostly mitigate it by watching out for back to back recordings.
