Rogers has been coasting for a long time with their antiquated PVR’s. They were old when they were introduced and have continued to lag behind in features and functionality in the past years. Finally, they have begun to offer a new PVR with more modern features that have been found in Tivo’s, Sling’s, Apple TV’s and other PVR’s for years. The Cisco 8600 is the new PVR that is available.

Notable features include:

• 1080p resolution
• Use a single PVR for the entire house, watch PVR shows on any TV
• Compatible with DLNA for sharing music/movies on a PC
• Ethernet connection for home networking

Look for Rogers to take advantage of some of the advanced features to offer much more interactivity to your television. Bell already offers controlling your PVR over the Internet.
