The question is whether this is like old models with the built-in DVR where it only recorded off of the built-in tuner, or if it will allow you to record whatever input signal is coming in (HDMI). Most people aren't using the built-in tuner due to Cable/Satellite boxes, so the built in DVR was pretty worthless. (Granted, you could use a CableCard with the old models, but then you lost the on-screen guide and ability to do OnDemand/PPV, so it wasn't worth the benefit for most people.)
If they will allow me to record whatever input signal I kick to it, then that would be freakin' awesome. If not, I'll be passing again, LG.
For those looking for a device strictly for reading, the new Kobo is a nice little option. It's small enough to slip into a pocket, can do more with a PDF than the competition, and at $129, it's $10 cheaper than both the Nook and Kindle WiFi.
