Its been price reduced to $149 now that the hd-pvr is about to hit the 
market. On the 9th tee bit, they have been taking a long time to respond 
to emails related to trying to return one for service and at this point 
I would hesitate to recommend them over the other sites selling the 
hdhr. Their idea of service is to have me buy another at FULL PRICE and 
then wait for a refund from them to reduce the price to $50. Not my idea 
of good service and I do not think they would ever send a refund. Just 
for the record, I did not buy another. I will wait for the hd-pvr 
support to firm up and then will buy one or two of them and rent an 
extra hd cable box. More channels not to mention I will be able to 
record my premium channels now.
