Andy, thanks for the mini review. My local home electronics retailer is asking $999 for the HD DirecTV/TiVo box and it's mighty tempting especially with the HD record capability.

I have the Samsung SIR-T151 OTA HD Tuner which sometimes drops audio for just a split second now and then, not always. It doesn't bother me much but my girlfriend can't stand it... she forces me to switch to plain ole analog TV when this happens. I'm not sure if it's a Samsung issue or a problem from the broadcaster.

In any case, we're looking into getting HD programming via Satellite and I like the idea of HD with TiVo but Voom doesn't have this capability. On the other hand, they offer many more HD chennels. Hmmm, what to do?
