Anyone have one yet? Comments? Gotta think bandwidth is still the biggest issue. Kinda falls into that 'too good to be true' technology for me ... but it is advertised on Jim Rome's shows so I had to at least 'bite' he is a tech head.

Thanks in advanced.

Looks like overrated/over hyped technology to me... and in this case overpriced! ($250!) Can't really justify storing a show and then streaming it to a internet capable device. This is about as lame as those mp3 cassette tapes they had back in the day.

Whatever happened to the old fashion programmable VCR or in our modern time DVD recorders? (I wish I had the money for that) tivo!?
