The Globe and Mail has an article on Rogers Cable's introduction of the Scientific-Atlanta Explorer 8000 Personal Video Recorder (PVR) for its subscribers. The article mentions that the PVR will be available on a rental basis early next year and that if purchased Rogers will buy it back if the purchaser moves out of Rogers' territory. The buyback amount has not given. Digital Home Canada has much more information, including a message board, and links to reviews about this PVR, which apparently has been available since early November. American sites with discussions include BroadBandReports.com which has much discussion on early software problems with the device. Hopefully they have been fixed by now. 10:39:42 PM
