Also, firewire only gets you 1 tuner per cable box, right? So this is
1 box that replaces 2 box, which means less rental fees if you need 2.
Plus it's smaller than most cable boxes,and I suspect it's more power
efficient. That said, I don't think I'm particularly interested in
running Win7 in a VM on my backend system.
