"No complaints"
4.0 starson by urban011Pros: Dual OTA tuners, HDMI Output
Cons: Subscription Fees, Small Disk, Documentation
Summary: I purchased this DVR strictly for use with OTA HD programming so the pay-per-view and interactive integration is not an issue for me. Since there simply are no alternatives out there for OTA tuning/recording (Yes, the Sony DHG-HDD250 and DHG-HDD500 are still available on eBay, but that's not a risk I'm willing to take with moving parts) There really isn't much of a choice. I still resent having to pay the fees to Tivo, though. I opted for the three year pre-paid deal to at least minimize the per month costs.
Still, I'm quite pleased with the box, the excellent cnet review below provides better documentation than either Tivo's own web site or even the manual itself! The 30 second skip ahead hack and the eSATA expansion hack are great and solve my only real grips out of the box. Picture and OTA tuning have been excellent.

A question - in other places I read that the eSATA port was disabled on the TiVo HD. Maybe the "hack" enables use of the port? Please confirm--thanks much!
