Just wanted to share my new experience. If your system denies to run due to an error corresponding to missing HAL.DLL, invalid Boot.ini or any other critical system boot files you can repair this by using the XP installation CD. Simply boot from your XP Setup CD and enter the Recovery Console. Then launch "attrib -H -R -S" on the C:\Boot.ini file and remove it. Run "Bootcfg /Rebuild" and then Fixboot Cheers, Carl Hi Folks!

It has a few problems. Namely, it takes a long time, and sometimes even loses, TV Guide On Screen programming data. Also, it has trouble reading DVD+R and DVD+RW media containing DVD-video burned on a PC. I wonder if we can hack the DVD drive that comes with the unit.

If you are interested in the DirecTivo HD DVR, some people say you can get DirecTV to drop the price up to $200 if you are persistent enough with the customer service reps: http://www.tivocommunity.com/tivo-vb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=168928 I think Comcrap -- I mean Comcast -- has some sort of HD DVR available. But from what I hear it kinda sucks. A 3rd option is to build one yourself from standard PC components. Personally, I consider that too much work considering there's already an awesome (but expensive) out-of-the box tivo solution.... If you're not totally set on HD, the standard DirecTivo (DirecTV DVR) is the best deal you can get now ($99 for the base 35 hour unit, + $5.00/month on your DirecTV bill). Besides the dual tuners (no more scheduling conflicts), you get perfect picture quality (it records the encrypted MPEG stream directly from the satellite). Also, it will record and output the Dolby Digital 5.1 audio track for shows that have it. Plus you can get 3rd party upgrade kits (no hacking required, just install the new drive) to boost it up to 120 hours for around $80-$160 depending on size. Hey Mike,
