No ethernet / broadband port?

I'm really suprised that there is no ethernet or wireless support planned for this HD receiver. This means that the home media center will not be supported. This seems like a really poor play by Tivo, as this is what people are looking for today, and infact what I would expect.

It really opens up the market for Microsoft and Windows Media PC once they have worked out all of the remaining issues,

HMO is not supported by DirecTV, at all, at this time. This is a DirecTV product, not TiVio's. I don't think this is what TiVo wants, but DirecTV, so far, has been slow to enable HMO on DirecTV receivers with TiVo software.

HR10-250 does have two USB 2.0 ports. However, they are disabled.

Direct all your HMO complaints to DirecTV. :p

Does any tivo have an ethernet/broadband port? Nope... Just like the standalone product, the new unit will have USB ports (Like Hong mentioned)... If/when D* allows HMO, upgrades the software to 4.0, or enables the USB ports under the current software remains to be seen. There have been rumors that they will sometime this year. But I wouldn't hold you breath.
