For the TV freak who wants it all: The TeraTANK-LE

You'd have to be seriously—scratch that, morbidly—interested in TV to even consider one of these, but Japanese firm Infocity has announced a huge black box modestly called the TeraTANK-LE (Light Edition) that will simultaneously record six channels and store nine days' worth of programming for selective viewing and storage via a PC. Unfortunately,
though it seems to have a decent range of search tools to pick out stuff from whatever it sucks in via its six inbuilt TV tuners, the recording process itself is anything but selective: it simply grabs everything on whatever channels you pick, and after nine days the old stuff is subject to a rolling erase. At Y840,000 ($7,600), this is definitely not for the faint of heart or light of wallet.
