The Dish Network's HD DVR

Via Gizmodo comes word that The Dish Network is about to release an HDTV-recording DVR that has dual tuners and what I'm guessing is about 200Gb of hard drive space. Impressive specs and the rumor is these will drop in just a couple weeks, which should beat out DirecTiVo's HD recorder by at least a few months (which is set for Q1 2004 after being pushed back a couple times).

With Comcast on the cable front and The Dish network on the satellite side of things, TiVo is being beaten (badly) to market by their competitors. I know half of the posts on this site end with "and this looks like another nail in TiVo's coffin" but it's increasingly looking to be the truth.
