Tout all the hardware features you want, but we all know this is going to come down to software. TiVo & Slingbox are known as the best because of how seamless their software makes things. No screenshots here, but maybe we can convince them to send us a review unit to put through the ringer.

The Roaming Machine — in addition to sending your shows over the internet — also function as a digital HD set-top box and a digital video recorder. They've got versions that'll work in the US (ATSC/NTSC), in Europe (DVB/PAL), and the rest of the world (IP). No word on pricing or availability, but you can take a closer look at the Roaming Machine at NAB 2007 in Las Vegas.
