>>Hundreds upon hundreds of free live internet television channels to choose
from

Actually, I might consider buying one just for that feature. This is the
feature that is going to blow the networks away. Built in bittorrent is a
nice touch as well.

As for the rest, well it only records over the air broadcasts so for me
it's not real interesting since I get like 3 TV stations over the air
(perhaps if I didn't live in bone fart ohio..) but the setup sounds very
cool and very workable. Only thing they don't tell you is what codec/format
they record in. I would hope xvid/avi.

Price seems pretty good for what you get too, try to build that yourself
and you won't save much. But I suspect until they get the price under $500
the sales are going to be fairly slow. I mean you can buy a Linktheater for
$250 and use your existing computer as the hard drive and all you need is
emule to get the shows you like.
