What's the point

It costs the same as the box dvr now, but introduces problems like FF and REW not working properly (I am assuming the sofware is the same as their VOD now).

So what am I as a consumer gaining here?

Well the only things that I can think of are:

- it works on most plain (non-DVR) boxes, which costs you less money (you don't have to pay extra for DVR boxes on other sets, to get DVR on them)
- it basically gets you "anyroom" DVR, again w/plain boxes
- you don't have to worry about power outages/glitches in YOUR house affecting the DVR (but in their network instead)

All in all, I'd still rather keep the control of MY DVR in MY own box, thank you. Also, NOT being able to skip commercials (30 sec skip) IS a totally deal breaker for me.
