From CES
http://gizmosforgeeks.com/index.php/news/1789"Sticking with HD and set-top boxes, Scientific Atlanta also announced a new box: a HD receiver with DVR and built-in DVD Recorder/Player. Additional features on the MCP-100 include dual-tuners, 160GB hard drive, a SATA interface to expand capacity, HDMI output, multi-room playback, DRM management, plays most DVD formats, and a dual-layer DVD burner.
Unfortunately, the MCP-100 records in raw MPEG-2 format, so the burnt discs are not portable to other standard DVD players. Scientific Atlanta is still deciding whether or not to support Blu-Ray or HD-DVD (or both). Keep in mind that Scientific Atlanta doesn't sell directly to the end consumer, but mainly to the cable operators, so bug your local cable company for the new boxes."
One more reason why I gladly purchased the Sony DVD Recorder that I did.
