NYC Time-Warner customers getting DVRs

A story in today's NYT talks about the current plethora of digital cable and satellite choices for customers. It includes a note about Time-Warner's NYC customers getting DVR boxes. They are deploying Scientific American's Explorer 800, which features dual tuners and a 80Gb hard drive that records native digital signals, much like a Directivo (resulting in a much better picture free of compression artifacts). They're charging less than $10 a month for the service and the boxes are free making it much cheaper than TiVo. [via /.]
