I've had the unfortunate privilege of using the Microsoft version of the Moto 6412 for about 6 months now. Having been an UltimateTV user (MS's DirecTV effort), I thought that I might not have all the problems that others were having with the other Moto units and while that is somewhat true, we have our own set of problems.
Basically, users that have used another 'real' PVR (Replay, Tivo, Ultimate) will be horribly disappointed with how awful the cable companies PVRs are. If you haven't used a PVR, users won't know how much greener the grass really is. God, I hope the CableCard Tivo ships soon.
