I do want this box eventually but not until its stable and a lot cheaper lol
From what I've read on these forums they have only just starting to distribute the boxes, so what are the chances that an engineer who came your house a few days ago has already got his hands on one?

When has any complex software been released without bugs? In this case it is software that is already in use in Tivo boxes and hopefully most of the bugs have been ironed out.
