Walt, |

I own an HDHR and it's been a great little box for the last couple |
| 6 |
of years. I hope you enjoy it as much as we have. |

That said watch out for what's happening to us. We're on the cable |
| 9 |
giant Comcast's network and they are quickly moving toward removing |
| 10 |
nearly all Clear QAM from their transmissions meaning we will be left |
| 11 |
with very little that the HDHR can tune. Some people report on the |
| 12 |
Myth lists that they are down to little more than OTA and cable access |
| 13 |
channels. It hasn't happened to me yet, but I think the writing is on |
| 14 |
the wall. More Comcast people are moving toward the cheap DTAs and |
| 15 |
controlling them to change channels, but that's SDA only. HD requires |
| 16 |
a STB. |

What a mess! |

Anyway, you might be in Europe or Canada or someplace with better |
| 21 |
consumer protection laws than the U.S. Just be aware of what you might |
| 22 |
be up against, and if it doesn't matter then enjoy the HDHR because |
| 23 |
it's a great little product. |
