I might be biased about my views on this topic because i'm employed by "THAT" Cable company but i make a point to watch everything i can in HD and our new HD/DVR's have swapped over to MPEG-4 for recording which takes less space and we've put in bigger drives. I will give i'm not so happy...

i ordered one without the code seeing as $115 AR is still a nice price for a GTX 460. It said it was supposed to be 7.68 shipping on the item page however at check-out i was only charge 4.50 shipping for my whole order. We'll see if i still get one shipped come monday.

this seems like it's just like a sleep timer on a tv doesn't seem like it's intuitive enough to shutdown once a recording has completed. Thanks for the response. Keep any other suggestions coming.
