] Comcast is saying that 90% of their customers (millions

] end of next year, and this device will serve both HDTV
] and DVR functionality. The box looks like it can pause,
] rewind, and fast forward both regular TV and HDTV
] siganls, though recording appears to be confined to an
] analog MPEG encoder and I would assume DVR functionality
] will be limited to regular TV, not HDTV. The box has more
] outputs than I think anyone knows what to do with, so
] it'll be interesting to see how the hacking community
] takes to this box. It only has one tuner and records at
] one set compression level, so hopefully it'll be able to
] store signals digitally instead of having to recompress
