Yup, it’s coming soon. In March actually (which probably means April at the earliest). You an read all about it here, but the skinny is that it will not only be able to record HD stuff from DirecTV, but it’ll have a built-in HD Tuner and hookups for an Over The Air (OTA) antenna so you can receive and record regular local channels in HD as well, in fact: “At any one time, two of the four tuners can be active for recording. So you can record 2 OTA (local) shows, 1 OTA (local) and 1 DirecTV SD show, 1 OTA (local) and 1 DirecTV HD show, or 2 DirecTV HD shows.”
4 tuners!! It also sports a 250GB hard drive, capable of storing 30 hours of HD content, or 200 hours of regular non HD content!
It all comes at a price though, and it’s a big one. $999 is what they’re going to go for. There may be other models that may come out later that are cheaper with less capacity, but those are just rumors.
Woah!
