The new Sony HD DVR sports all sorts of delicious features: It has both over the air HD tuners and CableCard tuners, a slew of input and outputs, and what is likely a 400GB hard drive for storing content. Unfortunately, most HD content gobbles around 8-12GB per hour, so you’ll only get around 60 hours of HD content. It’s a bank-breaker too, at $1000, and it doesn’t even have dual tuners!

So, let me see…..the Sony DVR stores 60 hours of HD for $1000, my current Comcast DVR stores about 14 hours of HD for $10/month AND it has dual tuners….I’ll keep the Comcast DVR (even though the guide sucks)!
