If I remember correctly, a few days ago (or perhaps it was last week), Toshiba threw in the gloves and declared they would no longer pursue their HD DVD platform. This in essence yielded the crown to SONY's Blu-Ray technology. A quick news search should reveal background. Check

It's got superior technology but so did the Betamax. If it loses the technology war, you'll be left with a lot of expensive Blue Ray discs and a system that is eventually phased out. Since you primarily plan to record off cablecast, you might want to think of buying a cheap DVD recorder for now and hold off on that expensive equipment purchase for a few years.
