I haven't decided yet. My, uh, friends (yeah, that's the ticket) are still letting me watch recordings they made. I had decided to go with a used HR10-250, but if the move to MPEG-4 is that soon, and I can get a Series 3 for that "little", I may do that instead. I'll decide in the next few days.

A friend of mine got the DirecTV HD DVR. It doesn't totally suck, but it's not good. My "favorite" feature? The circular set of about twenty bright blue LEDs on the middle of the front panel that spin when you fast forward or rewind.
