JiWire's quick take

Likes
Works on PCs, Macs and Windows Mobile PDAs & smartphones, has four simultaneous video inputs (including HD with optional adapter), surprisingly good video quality with self-optimizing player.

Dislikes
No built-in Wi-Fi, limited input configurations, poor documentation for all but most simple connections, quality may be limited by your home broadband connection, no closed caption support.

Good for
Road warriors who miss their home TiVos and favorite sports channels.

Bad for
Travelers who have a family at home using the TV and DVR regularly won't be able to take advantage since only one person can control things at one time.
