Hughes GXCEBOT - DVR - TiVo - DIRECTV
ungodly cool.
This is one of the coolest and most useful, easy, and fun peices of equipment I've added to my home theater system.<BR>It is awesome to be able to watch your shows whenever you want and not have to bother with fiddlesome tapes and VCR programming.<BR>The picture and sound are excellent, and it supports Optical out for my surround sound system, which is even better.<BR>The programming guide does load a little bit slow, but it's a fair traedoff because it stores something like two weeks in advance of program info.  Plus you can change to a different style of displaying the information which seems to load faster anyway.<br />Much recommended.
