Tried the Liteon. Had to take it back because I need a DVR which uses IR to control a cable box.
I've got a Toshiba XS34 at home right now and I like it. The free TV Guide is pretty useful. I like the search by topic feature. Box is real slow interacting with the remote though. Wish I could get this box without the DVD recorder, as I don't need that and I'm sure it adds cost and complexity to the box. This will probably go back to the store too as the wife has no clue how to use it and even I think it's pretty complicated.
Don't tell me I have to get a Tivo 40 hour box and pay the $300 lifetime fee, which comes out to be the same cost as the Toshiba. Then I've gotta upgrade the HDD myself. I'm guessing this is the easiest box for the wife to use and where I don't have to read 100 page manual.
