Here's my problem with the new box. I currently have 4 TV's in my house. Each has a dual tuner DirecTV box hooked to it. That's a total of 8 tuners I have today. For this setup I pay roughly $15 extra a month for the three mirroring charges.
With the now Tivo boxes I'm going to pay Tivo a bundle in monthly license fees. PLus pay my cable company from $3 to $100 a month extra to rent the 8 cable cards I will need to replace my current functionality.
No matter how good it is I can't justify the extra epense.
On top of that until cable card 2.0 comes out I lose the ability to watch PPV movies. My nearest Blockbuster is a 30 minute drive in one direction.
