I'll check my receipt, but I'm pretty sure I bought the Motorola in Jan '09 so I should be just within warranty.

I have an HDTV and a PC with TV tuner, which generally works just fine but my wife sometimes complains that she can't watch Oasis (Her favourite channel, and is only on the HD stations) on the PC.

I was thinking of going with the Gateway for the main TV and hooking up the Motorola to the PC (through the TV tuner). I know that it won't be an HD picture on the PC, but at least my wife can watch those channels.
Is that scenario possible?

The big thing for me is that the Gateway seems to be the direction Shaw is going for all their future services, I think that in a little while the Motorola's will be phased out. I definately like the look of the guide etc.
