If you're itching for a new DVR, and wouldn't mind losing your current DVD player and media streamer in the process, Beyonwiz's DP-S1 should be just the thing for you -- if you reside Down Under, that is. Aimed squarely at the Australian market, this dual-tuner HD DVR packs a sleek, black and silver chassis, 200GB hard drive, an integrated DVD player that purportedly upconverts, and a built-in media center that "streams video, music, and photos over Ethernet or WiFi from your home computer network, external HDDs, or the internet." Marketed as an end-all home entertainment solution, this conglomerate even boasts a well featured front panel with USB 2.0 connectors and a three-in-one flash card reader that plays nice with SD, MMC, and CF. Best of all, this multi-faceted device is available right now in the land of Oz, but it will run you a stiff A$1,599 ($1,318).

Wow, this sounds WAY too cool to actually come stateside anytime soon. I'm getting jealous, and I don't even WATCH tv anymore.

Well, a Tivo S3 *could* be there if they wanted it to. If they would just open up the format support and get rid of the required tivo server software, it could be used just like xbox media center. Heck, they could USE xbox media center on the tivo if they wanted to.
It's come about time for tivo to give the customers what they want and quit playing around here.

200GB is not enough space for storing HD content.
