I thought you guys might be interested to know that Cox has started a slow release of their whole home dvr. I am in Tulsa.
Here is what I know:
I have 1 TV (I want the storage space and the new guide GUI) and they still told me they required a pro install for $60. I asked them to ask a manager if they really needed a pro install. His manager told him to tell me that they wanted to reserve these boxes for multiple TV households - so I left. For that reason and the $60 install plus $60 per year more (5x12).
Anyway, just an fyi. I am sure they install fee makes more sense if you have multiple TVs.

Here is what I know:
- It is a Cisco box with 500GB drive. Still dual tuner like the Motorola 3416.
- They told me the eSata is active and supports up to 1TB.
- The TV Guide Interface is much improved.
- The charge is $5 more per month than the current HD DVR fee.
- A $60 pro install is required.
- They also require that you visit their office to get 'trained'. I was shown how to switch views and that's was really all...
