My roommate and I have it. It's pretty nice. The main unit wirelessly sends information to the two remote boxes or some shit like that.
I was able to hook my Airport Extreme upto the box and create a second network for myself. I like it! |

well when I messed around with my friend's box that had it, it looked nearly identical to the windows media center guide. All I want is a TV & internet service that's reliable, hopefully this will fit the bill.

Got it this morning. First impressions: awesome. HD looks great, although I haven't watched any sports yet. The interface guide looks just like windows media center, 10x better than that crappy SARA software the cable co used. Can set the DVR from a website, has the ability to put this bar overlay on the screen with whatever you want on it, sports ticker, stock ticker, news ticker, weather, etc. The install used all our existing coax, so no new drops necessary. Speed tests show exactly the speed I ordered (6Mbps) and the guy said it's about 30Mbps to the house (obviously for the TV streams and such too), and that if I wanted to upgrade to the 10Mbps I should be fine. More HD channels than I had with Comcast, and more channels in general. Overall, very nice so far. Now just to see how the reliability works out.

When I had HD through the cable company in Lubbock in '04, it was really choppy and almost pointless to watch.
