Remote web scheduling? Tivo's got that.
News/weather browsing? Tivo's got that.
Flickr/Finetune support? Tivo's got something like that.
DLNA access to MP3s on a PC? Tivo's got that.
So tell me again, why is this better than a Tivo Series3/HD/HD XL?

This may not be a compelling reason for the Die-hard Tivo fan, but there is no fee for the guide data. Over time, that could add up to a decent savings. Also, according to their website, the hardware is HDMI Ver. 1.3b. They also claim 1080p recording, though I don't know what's available in 1080p on Cable. Only the Sats have "1080p".

@Dee_Money: For the price they're asking, you could get a TiVo HD with Product Lifetime service and call it a day - and get OTA recording if you want, to boot. Or for not much more, get the HD XL with Lifetime (as someone else mentioned).
And HDMI 1.3? Who cares? It's not like your DVR is going to be getting any content that's going to take advantage of anything beyond HDMI 1.1. DSD? Advanced Dolby/DTS audio formats? 2560x1440 video? xvYCC? Deep Color? Anything? Don't think so. Also, no, there's nothing on cable in 1080p yet - even Dish only has a handful of on-demand movies in 1080p format, no actual broadcast content.

If the Tivo user community has the HD XL all hacked already, then the Moxi is probably a nonstarter for serious users. Unless, of course, there's a flourishing Moxi hacker community in place, or an easy way to back up shows in easily readable form. (Too bad ReplayTV couldn't last long enough to have more than paper releases of HD units, because I can easily archive shows off mine without any hacks, in standard .mpgs. (Yeah, you knew one of us weirdos would show up in this thread eventually. As Clint Eastwood says, get off my lawn))
