Dave,
  Did you see this little "disclaimer" on the replay tv box.  I'm not sure
that I like them being able to "add, modify or disable" the features on my
box with out my permission.  If I've bought it, I should be able to control
it!

This is at the bottom of their online ad:

"ReplayTV 4000 requires a broadband Internet connection and a home network.
A PC connected to a home network is required to store and view digital
photos with ReplayTV. 320 hours of storage is only available on the ReplayTV
4320 model. If your ISP limits outbound data transfer speeds, it may take a
day or more to completely send an hour of recorded material over the
Internet. When in use, the Commercial Advance™ feature may not skip all
commercials. SONICblue reserves the right to automatically add, modify, or
disable any features in the operating software when your ReplayTV 4000
connects to our server."

    geoff
