I think they could have offered two versions, this unit could have been the high-end which costs more, they could have had a cheaper version perhaps with only one HD tuner?

I'm guessing Tivo/Seven Network will implement other data services for their on-going revenue stream such as movie hire etc. via the Ethernet port.

It's a shame it doesn't have WiFi as I think many people wont have Ethernet cables close enough to the television or have opted to use a WiFi network at home allowing them to keep their Cable/ADSL/phone line and transmitter at the opposite end of their homes. On the other hand, one of my computers has a HD Tuner card and when I use a WiFi dongle with it they sometimes appear to have issues working together so maybe WiFi attached to such a device would cause problems.

I'm fairly disappointed with the 250 GB hard drive, I'd expect minimum 500 GB or even 1 TB, but I'd guess they did this so they can release a new version in 12 months which will have more hard drive space and additional features!?

I wonder if they have different colours, as this looks fairly ugly.
