Apr 11th 2008 6:18AM From your link:
# "its", the possessive adjective and possessive pronoun form of the personal pronoun it
# "it's", a contraction of "it is" or "it has"
Thus "It's purpose" means "It is purpose". "Its purpose" is the proper form.
Ask Engadget HD: What's the best universal remote out there? {Engadget HD}
Jan 23rd 2008 12:48PM I totally agree with the MX-500. I picked up my first one in 2002 or so. It lasted about 5 years, and then started dying. This is with 3 toddlers in the house trying to destroy it.
When I started looking for a replacement, I couldn't find anything that fit the bill quite right. I picked up a Harmony remote, but I hated it.
I ended up picking up another MX-500 from Amazon. For less than $70, it can't be beat. And it only took 30 seconds to copy all of my devices and macros from the old remote to the new one ("Cloning").

DirecTV's HR20 / HR21 HD DVRs drop to $199.99 {Engadget HD}
Jan 11th 2008 9:53PM Remember that DirecTV has MPEG-4 HD locals in a lot of places. I can't tell a difference between OTA and MPEG-4.
I have both an HR10-250 and an HR20 connected to the same TV. I thought I would hate the HR20 interface, but it has grown on me and I now like it better for most things. I've been a Tivo user since 2002, for reference.
You can upgrade the HR20 as well. I haven't done it yet myself, but it's as easy as popping off the cover and replacing the drive and powering up. Alternatively, just plug in an eSATA drive to the port on the back and you are done. The software is not stored on the disk, so no messing with MFS tools and all that garbage you have to do to upgrade Tivos.
