I would fork over the extra cash and get the PVR. It is so nice to be able to record a show without looking for a disc, setting 2 timers (one on the Shaw box; one on the DVR.) Plus the abillity to record HD. Plus the "what did he say?" factor to rewind live TV. Or you go to do something during comercials, come back and all of a sudden the Law & Order guys have a new person in custody.

Also if you know somebody in Calgary- this weekend Soundsarround et al are having their big sale; often Shaw boxes go on sale.

If not; with the $750 price you get money off your cable bill in credits.
