[QUOTE="jmvaughn, post: 849159, member: 96228"] I have used HD-PVRs for years. I have two. They have been nothing but trouble. I've tried everything -- fan mod to deal with heat issues, new power brick to deal with the defective power supplies, many different driver updates, dedicated NEC-based USB card, etc. When they work, they're great, but they are not reliable enough to be useful. By contrast, I just installed a HD Colossus a little over a week ago. It has not crashed once. Also, I used to use firewire for channel changing, but my provider (Comcast) forced a firmware update to my STB and then the firewire port was disabled. Since then, I've been using a USB-UIRT, and it is nearly flawless. Just my two cents. [/QUOTE]
