Compare it to say, a modern RCA DSS receiver and it looks pretty awful. The video scaler is also poor, the picture-in-menu looks pretty bad. > PowerTV is the OS running on these boxes, and the API documentation can give you > a glimpse into what they can do.

You could see folks running them on ethernet at > trade shows). The 2000HD has ethernet, and also USB. I think it can be made to become an internet terminal, because it also has a "Mail" LED on the front that presumably flashes when you get mail. The USB is probably for keyboard and mouse. My cable provider is also my high speed internet provider, but at this time they ship two boxes to do it. That could be done in one box with the right hardware, just plug the computer into the ethernet of the digital cable box. -- Trevor Boicey, P. Eng.
