We like:
Large hard disk; picture and sound quality; ease of use; ability to compensate for last-minute schedule changes
We don't like:
Styling is not to everyone's taste; no HDMI; can't record two channels at once; price
CNET UK judgement:
A good PVR that offers lots of features -- albeit at a price -- but good picture quality will appeal to people looking for a PVR to go with their flat-panel TV
