Or another device. I just noticed at Ars Technica the other day that TIVO's already announced that the next version of their boxes will have by HDTV capabile, CableCard 2.0 compliant, have external SATA jacks for instant storage upgrades and upwards of 6 tuners (multiple digital, analog and HDTV - essentially enough such that you could also record two streams from any sources). http://arstechnica.com/news.ars/post/20060106-5915.html Neat stuff! No it's just to get on the cable companies asses to support this stuff.
