The TiVo Bolt is the successor to the Roamio, and is still rolling out features in the way of firmware upgrades.

http://www.digitaltrends.com/dvrs-digital-video-recorders-reviews/tivo-bolt-review/

If you have an older Roameo or TiVo Mini in another room, the Bolt is supposed to be able to stream to them as well.
The strength of TiVo is its interface, which is normally a monthly fee but the first year is free.  Worth investigating.

The bolt is also $300 and the Roamio OTA is $50

I guess my dreams of not paying for content just are not quite ready yet.

$300 or $50 upfront, then $15/month for a combo VCR/Roku box.

What do you all do for a DVR? Subscription required or not?

And how will I watch Bravo?

Good question on the DVR...I see some are using ROKU.

Since COX turned off my peripheral TVs and want me to install their "digital boxes" on them I am done.

That is true.   But is the risk worth the reward for something that I could just DVR for free....  errr...  $15/month.

I guess I could turn on my inner nerd and either build a mythTV box or dig out a copy of windows 7 that still has mediacenter built in.

In my 6 months using Hulu Plus I found that if it was on a cable channel, you still had to have a cable subscription to watch it, even on Hulu plus.
