Can anyone provide some advice on this one? I have Charter Cable
which has a monopoly in our area
I ordered their cool package of products with phone, cable and highspeed for a great price. Along with that was supposed to come a Motorola BMC9012 DVR to record all of my HDTV needs. Needless to say I'm having to feign sickness to watch any World Cup action and am expecting the same for the Tour de France. Charter says the boxes are backordered and won't be available for ????????? months.
From what I gather here, I shouldn't even be waiting on this thing becuase it doesn't really record in HD anyway. If I tell Charter to hit the road, how do the options compare for recording HD? Is DISH or Directv any better for recording HD? Or should I just do a good old Tivo or DVD recorder?
I have component cable and surround sound on a Panasonic 42" HD Plasma and a Charter HD box.
Thanks
