I wasn't sure whether the tuning resolver would allow S3/HD to run the bidirectional stuff or not. I've been sticking with the Comcast box for now, but I'd love a real Tivo, with MRV, HMO, etc, for my HDTV, but don't want to buy one now if a future box gives me the additional bi-directional stuff.Hopefully we'll find out soon!

It may be possible for an S3/HD to handle it by using a Tuning Resolver for that hardware, but that's speculation.
