So i just ordered a new digital cable box, it has built in DVR and PIP

[aphex]

Think this is worth it? 🙂

I used to pay - $4/mo for a standard digital cable box

The new box (listed here) has can record/pause live tv, record up to 2 shows at once and watch a third, and has full PIP support.

Comes with an 80gb hard drive to record up to 50 hours.

Only costs $5 more a month (first month free)

Think its worth it?

 

[Atrail]

yes

 

[Kaervak]

Nice toy. The cable box I currently have can supposedly double as a cable modem.

Considering some people pay $10/mo just to get the TV guide in Tivo and RPTV, yes.

 

[Smolek]

Yes, very good deal.
