ChannelMaster CM-7001 Antenna and Cable Tuner is just that, an ATSC OTA/ClearQAM cable tuner. It is only a tuner. The
CM7001 cannot supersede the
CM7000PAL because it cannot record video. The STB that supersedes the CM7000PAL is the
ChannelMaser TV CM 7400 HD DVR with no subscription fees. The
CM7400 is an ATSC/ClearQAM OTA/unscrambled cable DVR. It also supports Internet-based content from Vudu, Picasa, and Flickr. Unlike the CM7001, the CM7400 does everything that the CM7000PAL does and more for a slightly higher purchase price.
The downside to the CM7400 is that it is not yet on the market [as of December 16, 2011]. The first units are scheduled to ship on December 22, 2011.
