So here's the deal. I'm looking to get a PVR. I'll be starting out with a single unit in the HT, then if I like it (not really any doubt about that) I'll be getting another for our other tv. I want one for the general reasons (pausing live tv, no more tapes, etc), but there are some specific tasks I want it to do:
1. Set it up to record shows, but if they are reruns, have a "backup" show that it could record. (Ex. We watch Friends, but if it's a rerun, then I'd like to watch Family Guy)
2. Easy searching for shows, movies, sports
3. Clean UI and easy to use remote - my wife should be able to program the thing
I've done some research and I keep swaying back and forth. I like the ethernet connection on the replay and the idea of internet sharing/programming of the device is great, but I've heard that the software on the tivo is better. I've done a lot of research, now I'm looking for opinions and outside info. Thanks!
