Digital Home Thoughts: "Sony DVR/PC concept features a terabyte of storage and seven television tuners"

"Sony recently showed a new device concept which can simultaneously record seven television channels, function as a standard personal computer and a predictor of the type of functionality likely to be incorporated into home entertainment systems in the not-too-distant future. The Type X is the first mega-PVR machine and demonstrates an entirely new way of thinking, offering the ability to record seven TV channels simultaneously with a massive storage space of over one terabyte – that’s a thousand Gigabytes."



This is an update to a post Suhit made about a month ago. Included are a couple images of the PDA type controller (with the "Designed for WinXP logo") and no mention of TiVo. Could Sony be the latest to move beyond the DVR pioneer?
