I've not upgraded from 3.04 because, as I understand it, I would be forced to the pay "guide" system from the free TitanTV guide system. My memory is that the TitanTV service will be going away at the end of 2009.
With the pay "guide" system you get 1 year free, then to continue having a guide you have to pay about $20/year.
Overall I'm happy with the Hybrid. Using my G5/2GHz and 23" LCD display I have excellent picture quality. My original plans were to get familiar with the system, then buy a flatscreen TV and MacMini, upgrade my cable and use the Hybrid with EyeTV software as a DVR. IMHO the EyeTV software and in particular, the capability with the supplied remote controller, needs to be more user friendly to accommodate all those currently comfortable using a remote TV controller.
