The DVR capabilities could easily be done with a software update. Except in cases of IPTV (a la the Xbox 360) a digital tuner would be a hardware upgrade (USB addon that you’d plug a coax cable into). Computers already have these external devices. So no you wouldn’t need to buy a new console. A bigger hard drive or external HDD would be a good deceision though.

I hope it’s in a software upgrade rather than having to buy a whole new system…i hope.

well they have to do this to compete with the xbox. I think i remember in certain markets MS is using the xbox as a set top box and dvr. – I think its with ATT television if i remember. Im sure someone here will correct me about that.

It would make it real popular if the harddrive size was easily (without voiding waranty) upgradeable so more content could be stored on the device.
