When I show my neighbors, they say "its nice" but they don't seem to want to run out and buy one. I just don't understand it. Maybe folks are simply afraid of buying the wrong PVR. Certainly Microsoft hasn't done anything to instll consumer confidence in PVR products.

Not to start a flame war, but Microsoft has a fantastic PVR on the market - UTV. I know they royally messed up the Dishplayer, but they definitely learned their lesson before releasing Ultimatetv. It is a great product. True, nobody really understands what it does, but I can't imagine not having it. As corny as it sounds, UTV has totally changed the way my family watches tv.
