Default Anyone else have DVR with HD?

I got my dual tuner DVR last week and it's freaking awesome! Not only does it act as a HD box, but you can simultaneously record 2 channels at the same time onto it's built in 120GB harddrive. Better yet, pause and rewind live TV. I've got like 8 shows that it is setup to record on it's own. I have it set so that it will record that entire series.

Anyone else have it? I know that some cable providers have it but have not yet enabled the dual tuner feature.

um.. a Tivo doesn't have a dual tuner so you can't record two shows on at the same time. h:

Yeah, I have the new Comcast Motorola DVR.

Here's the cool thing.
It cost me $0.00, and the service is $9.99/mo.

It's dual tuner, so it can do the record 2 shows at once and watch a recorded show -- or record one and watch another show, etc.

And yes, it also records HD.

While it's true that the DVR is similar to a dual-tuner Tivo w/ HD capability, it's also not $1000 like most HD tuners are.

I love this thing.
