LG Attempts to Take on TiVo

"This is interesting. LG’s new LRM-519 Digital Media Recorder is “a combination digital video recorder (DVR) and DVD recorder powered by Windows® Media Center Technologies with a 160-gigabyte hard drive for unparalleled recording flexibility.” I like the idea of a dedicated Media Center box with certified hardware, drivers, and no extra software to add instability. But why charge for the service that every other Media Center owner gets for free?"
Maybe I'm missing something here, but why would you go to all the hassle of using MCE if they need to charge practically the same price as TiVo does for their service? Is this a sign of things to come?
