That product is w/o monthly charges and designed for those getting over-the-air signal
" the TR-50 takes many of the features found on Dish Networks' excellent satellite DVRs (such as the ViP622 and 722) and brings them to antenna-based TV viewers. "

  Maybe there's newer info you have?
  
  Otherwise it looks like just the ticket.

    It's fairly clear from what I posted and everything else I've seen that it is a product designed for those who don't want to pay and is meant to basically put a dent in TIVO. I don't record much and decided against it and just bought a Samsung 260 tuner (and for the once every year I might record - 480i into my DVD recorder is fine) to replace my 1st generation Samsung SIR-T150 tuner. He's a You Tube Video explaining its features and also the fact it is for those who don't want to pay for TV:

    - Thanks. So, it's now clear that there's to be no subscription fee? - clarkjohnsen 08:34:30 05/08/08 (2)

        The product should be out in the July/August time frame - so probably 60-90 days. I thought about using the 250G hard drive partially as a kind of music server but I have other options in my set-ups and at my guess of $500-600 street price (that's just my guess - no info), I don't have a personal need for it. It should be ideal for those watching over-the-air HD and who record broadcasts a lot. I'm not much of a TV watcher.
