Digital Home Thoughts: MOXI for the Masses

"Gone are the days when you could only get your hands on a MOXI DVR in limited cable TV markets. The company is now delivering their TiVo butt-kicking, CableCARD compatible 500GB HD DVR to the masses via Amazon.com for $799 (subscription fees: $0, advertising: none)."

Subscription fees were always the thing that kept me away from Tivo. But, this seems a bit on the pricey side and while the CableCARD compatibility is great in theory, unless you can actually get one from your cable provider, you are probably not going to be getting any premium or HD channels from your cable provider.
