I'm not a big TV watcher but we do watch movies. I live our whatever inch Sharp. My next thing is to get a WiFi doohickey so I can stream netflix. I may end up with a bluray player but only because netflix rents them. I have no desire to start buying them.

I know. I had some other questions for them too.

No idea when it's coming but I'm on their notify me list. The recording magic device is a DVR. My cable company offers one too but I hate the layout. I'm also not fond of the FIOS DVR format.

I did look, and the premier comes with a cable card but says the cable company may charge for digital cable service. Does that mean I'd have to subscribe to digital cable through them to use the cable card or can I just watch what I have through the TIVO (which will upconvert it).

I feel so dense when it comes to this stuff. Give me a network or some servers and I'm all over it.
