Sonicview 360 Premier Mini PVR
I'm not limited to these boxes only so if you know of another better box and or support please let me know.
Unless N3 is coming, which I don't know what the rumors are... maybe I should wait???
I don't want to spend the money if it's not gonna work.
Thanks for your time and help.

ok,lets see here buddy.
well the nfusions,those are king of iks.nothing beats those,or even comes close if you want to connect to the net and simply watch tv.these offer the most uptime,simply incomparable to anything else on the market.
the ipro plus,
this is a nice one,but should be considered as a secondary unit.not just because of slower support,but missing features found in lower end units.
you can't even use favs still.
sadly,they seem to be swamped with just ecm support.and never work on dressing this one up.
i like it.but it never did become what i had hoped for.
very nice foundation,but no signs of progress.
tho it does have things that already set it above some others.so it is advanced in its own right as well.
for example,a true PIP mode but with a singe tuner! that's impressive.it has some sort of dual mode chip or something to be able to pull this off.and it works well.
as well as a great auto antenna setup.
so really,its a great unit,in its class.just would have liked to see more from this one by now.theirs much more to support than just ecm's.
that new cw ultima,well this one is really cool.you have a nes emulator for playing all your old school games.thats fun.
whats so great is this one records directly to mpeg format.soooooooo much nicer! this means you can simply burn with no conversions,or just use an authoring program first to make menu's and dvd format if your player doesn't play mpeg directly.either way is simple and fast.
this is the ideal way pvr's should record imho.
this one is progressing very rapidly! they already have most if not all features the cw 7/800's have now.just came to the market and this progress is what we like to see.that's how its done.
sonicview 360's series.well the premium for single tuner,or elite for dual,either way are priced accordingly and you have yourself a very high end unit.
team sv is simply outstanding with their software and overall support.
really all nice stbs depending on your particular needs.
buy stbs for what they currently are.not what they can be.this is always safest route.
