I didn't get that sense off it, and I didn't answer poll, given that there is no reasonable (or even semi-reasonable) answer. This is the stupidest poll put forward yet, that's pretty much objective fact.

Living with a @#$%^&* Comcast box for over a year of crashes and lockups makes it easy to drop the $$. Having loved TiVo since 1999 and wanting one in HD for 2+ years it was an easy choice. . .

How about the option for "I'm waiting to see what happens with all this SDV nonsense?"

And I'll wait a few months until the price drops to a reasonable level. $800 for a box with 128 megs of ram and 250gb drive, plus some commodity ATSC tuners? With a monthly service fee on top. And less features than a $50 series2? Yeah right.

Really? I didn't know the series 2 could record HD, had dual 8VSB/QAM tuners, and supported CableCard.
