The MoCA chips are supplied by Entropic, presumably their EN2510. We'll have to crack open a box to figure out the tuners. :) Likely the same CPU as the Premiere.

They update the Premiere to a 500gb drive at least. and 2. They cut the price of the Elite by $100.I just think going from $99 to $499 with nothing in the middle is a little bit of a mistake just from the consumer mindset.I wouldn't be surprised if we see a TiVo branded MoCa adapter either since entropic announced thier MoCa adapter today which of course is who is supplying the MoCa in the Elite. I am definitely surprised the Slide didn’t make it into the Elite.

As a true upgrade to the Premiere and given this pricing, I can't see any reason to keep the Premiere XL around once they clear the inventory. They're better off selling TiVo-branded external drives and making money that way as they do with the wireless adapter and Slide remote (that you'd think be integrated/bundled into something called the Elite).
