I have a stand alone Sony DVR.  500 GB and is HD that comes with a cable card slot.  It worked great without the cable card and had the TV guide info that came from the analog PBS channel.  But when the US switched to digital I couldn't use it without the cable card (there was no way to set the time manually) and I've been too lazy to go get one.  I'd be willing to make a deal.  A DVR for some future books.
