ReplayTV 4040 40-Hour Personal Video Recorder
This Thing's Great!
This gizmo has revolutionized my TV watching habits.  No more surfing up and down the dial through 200 channels of drivel.  Now I return home, even if I have been traveling for weeks at a time, and find a neatly cataloged selection of shows I really like to watch. <br />My only regret is that I didn't spend the extra $200 or so to get the 80-hour model.  Forty hours is a lot, but you do use up a great deal of memory if you record primarily in the \\"high quality\\" mode as I do.  Spending 30% more for twice the memory is a no-brainer.<br />Certain reviews I read of earlier versions of this product were a little ambiguous about the need for a Ethernet connection to the Internet.  YOU ABSOLUTELY MUST HAVE AN ETHERNET CONNECTION.  Without it you will not get halfway though the setup process.
