@Popper: The problem VM have is support. They have a hard enough time supporting a locked down platform with their 'cheap as chips' lowest bid outsourced callcentres. I can sort of see why the existing strategy makes sense.

However, it's the 'illegality' of connecting non-vm kit to the network. If they'd just let us do what we want to and say 'it's not supported, but here's a couple of cablecards to use with whatever PVR you want' I'd have a series 3 TiVO faster that you could blink.
