Alas, its been discontinued, and they quickly shoved the lower priced 9241 into its place.

If you already have a working HD dual tuner PVR, why would they need to send somebody out to essentially plug it in for you and call the 1-800 number.... I'm going to stay with my 9200 for a while longer. The new 9241 has dual tuners, but you cannot "dual wield" two channels. My spouse loves to watch two shows at the same time by pausing the first show, hitting swap, and then watching a second show on the other tuner. My brain can't handle it, but hers apparently can.

I started to think, what the heck would the technician have to do? we already had our original 9200 replaced because it wasn't working right, anyways, that is my comment.
