| vjose78 | No, I don't think it can be used with OTA, only with MTS' service. |

OTA Can this PVR be used with OTA HD signals (i.e. hook it up to my OTA antenna)? |

| Mozza | I can't report on an accurate size, but I currently have 20 hours of HD content on my PVR, and the system information says there is 69% space left... so I would conclude we're looking at around 65 hours HD content? |

From the MTS site:
Quote:
The 160 GB hard drive allows you to record up to 120 hours of Digital TV or 25 hours of High-Definition programming.
AT&T in the U.S. uses the same hardware and software and have been offering the Whole Home PVR for quite a while. This is what they offer: Moto VIP1216 160GB, 133 Hours SD, 37 Hours HD Moto VIP1225 250GB, 233 Hours SD, 65 Hours HD Cisco IPN4320 320GB, 311 Hours SD, 87 Hours HD The actual number of hours that can be stored in 160 GB will vary based on the content, so I'm not sure if MTS or AT&T is more accurate. The larger hard drives at AT&T are in very limited supply, so as they become more available hopefully MTS will start phasing them in. |

| vjose78 | Actually MTS is going to have some HD ppv soon and i'm sure HD vod won't be far behind. |

| Clipse | Nice feature! As for light years ahead that is yet to be determined. AT&T runs this and they are far from being light years ahead of all American providers as usually something else is lacking. All about bandwith and i`m going to believe AT&T is ahead of MTS. But this is foresure a nice technological feature... |

| greeniguana_01 | Not miles ahead. Since it is not avaiable everywhere yet and Shaw still has more HD offerings including HD PPV and VOD services. |

| vjose78 | Seems to me like MTS is now miles ahead of Shaw. |
