No advice as mine is Bell ExpressVu. However, I will say that once you have one, you can never do without. I am now actually watching the 4-6 shows per week that I record instead of missing them and once you get used to skipping commercials, you get spoiled and can no longer watch live TV.

If I had to give one up, I'd give up my HD channels long before my DVR/PVR.

With great power comes Awesome irresponsibility.
