I can vouch for this model. Works great. I think it gets the guide over ethernet. It comes with a jack for that, or you can get an optional wireless USB dongle.<p>The interface is decent, nothing great, but better than most cable provided boxes. I&#x27;ve got mine hooked up to a 2TB usb drive I had laying around. Worked immediately.<p>It has reasonably good recording options. It can do string matching, so you can say &quot;record any new shows with the word &#x27;Masterpiece&#x27; in the title.&quot; That kind of thing.<p>I recommend it.
