[QUOTE="PABeaver, post: 848225, member: 10495"] I am an HD-PVR owner and am considering switching entirely to the Colossus. The HD-PVR has had issues with heat and the power supply, which most users have had at one time or another. I believe a lot of posters in this thread started with the HD-PVR and switched. Either unit will easily record 720p or 1080i. I would plan on using Component from the beginning as you are sure to run into encryption issues no matter where you are. There is a website (is it the HDHomerun forums?) that will list encrypted channels in your area. As far as changing the channel you can use one of three methods. If you are only using 1 unit you can use the built in IR blaster, but this will not work with more than one HD-PVR/Colossus. You can use firewire (which is what I use) or USB-IRT which in my opinion are orders better than the built-in blaster. [/QUOTE]
