Has all the standard PVR features (real time pause, scheduling, listings etc). Plus you own the hardware, get support and get updates/maintenance. Is it too good to be true?"

    Why (in the absence of a non /.ed TFA) do people assume its using Zap2it? I think that is US only anyway. Note they said it supports DVB-T (Thats digital terrestrial TV outside the US). Don't know about NZ but in the UK there is a free 7-day EPG broadcast with the DVB-T signal which MythTV happily grabs. Plus MythTV supports xmltv which can scrape listings from a variety of websites worldwide.
