I have been on the HDPVR a while, and now that my TV supports HBOGo/Showtime/CineMax, etc - I no longer record my shows with MythTV that I can watch in 1080p with my smartTV (still whenever I want to). No commflagging needed on pay channels anyway, but the 1080p beats the shit out of DirecTVs 1080i through a HDPVR all day long and twice on Sunday. Of course I still watch everything else through the FE.<br>

So far, Netflix, HBO/Sho/Amazon, etc have all streamed great.
