I'm interested in something like this:

http://www.geeks.com/details.asp?invtid=SDVM1-A-A30-PB

I'd like to pay 2-3x as much as this thing. In exchange, I'd like:

a) documented SDHC support, and support for at least 16GB cards

b) a better quality remote


For $23, this thing SUPPOSEDLY gives SDHC support, but I've been
unable to find out what the max size it will take is. Remote included
looks like it might be a headache for regular use. However, it does
have a USB cable, so I would be able to hook up to my PC directly and
transfer files & such if I just want to watch the shows on there later.
This would allow me to use this 15 watt device to record shows, and my
PC wouldn't have to be on all the time. No moving parts is a plus.

I'd pay $125 for something like this that also has an ATSC tuner
built in. Can anyone point me towards something that at least
accomplishes a & b above? Thanks!

You could try something like this http://tinyurl.com/ylr9rjh

Not sure what exactly your looking for, I have an HD PVR but i use
that for recording PS3 games, And its pretty expensive
Prob. more than you want to spend
