Does your cable company offer one? I pay $10 a month for a dual tuner PVR
that will record high definition video also. And I can record two shows
simultaneously while watching a 3rd pre-recorded show. They recently came
out with an upgraded model and when I had some issues with mine they came
out and swapped it for the new model. No concerns of onsolescence.
