I like mine, but no access to encrypted channels.

I considered the HD home run for while as well, but got my AIW HD for a pretty cheap. And it doubles as a HD3650, so has a little 3D power for lite gaming as well.

IIRC there is a newer AIW card out as well I have no experience with it.

Drawback of 7MC is the new recording format (WTV). AFAIK there is not anything that will convert it to AVI/MKV. You need to first convert it to the older DVR-MS. (EDIT: Looks like there are some tools that do it now).

Vista MC is good too, and with the TVpack (OEM software but you can find it ) it has all the improvements that 7 does.
