I still use my old SD toppy. With dual tuners UKAS keyword search recording and with JustEPG and EIT2MEI it is still better than all of these. 100% hand free. When it dies I will get a beyonwiz, but because of the micro management it will be like a downgrade even with the HD.

EDITOR: yeah i use to own a Topfield 5000 and it worked perfectly for ages until the remote and hard drive died

and the winner is… my MythTV ( mythbuntu.org ) it has all the best features the others have including complete advert skipping, duplicate matching, record at any time/in this timeslot/one showing a day, search for actors or titles etc… With a nVidia vdpau card i can watch my ripped blurays/ movies of any format easily. Its also future proof.. the tivo’s 160GB hardrive is a joke.. need more tuners..then add them.. need more storage.. shop around then add that too. Can you add more storage to these other devices at a sane price?

Ive had the beyonwiz for a few months and it easily beats the competion. Ive got it connected to all the pcs in our house via lan. Theirs easy streaming from any pc with avi/mkv/mpg/wmv/vob/mp4 playback. You have the ability to upload tv recordings to your pc which you could then edit or convert them. Full 1080 hd recording and playback on the dual tuners. Upgradable firmware. The internal hdd is 320 or 500gb standard but can be replaced with a larger model. Pause,rewind live tv. Easy epg that shows up to a week in advance. Press 1 button on the epg to record shows make them record daily or weekly. I also have a 360 and ps3 but for a all in 1 media unit the beyonwiz wins.

Oh I should have typed “Galleon” rather than Gallileo. You can find it here:
