Ramblings from another nerd on the grid
Quad tuners, 2TB of disk space for 180 hours of HD recording? You had me at quad. See http://www.zatznotfunny.com/2011-06/tivo-premiere-q-headed-to-retail-as-premier-elite/. I’d love Window 8 in a box, but this might be in Santa’s sleigh this year.
Dude! Tivo is so last decade. The HD Homerun Prime box is amazing! Revolutionary! :) Actually, it seems very cool and we'll be banging on it next month www.silicondust.com/.../prime
Apparently you have not used a TiVo Series III or later with CableCard and Verizon FIOS. It just works. I didn't have that type of experience with my MCE machines.
What provider are you using with HDHomeRun Prime? I assume you are using the 3 tuner box. What MCE machine are you using? Got a blog post on the subject?
