    What do you want to do that an S3 doesn't?

        Seamless multiroom viewing?
        Easy to upgrade storage?
        Commercial skipping?
        Better video compression?
        Able to record from ANY HD source (Dish,DTV)?
        No DRM on recordings?

    You can record as many multiple channels as you want to buy tuners for.

    Getting rid of the STBs is probably lowest priority feature out there.
