I picked up one on Tuesday.  It's a Scientific Atlanta Explorer 8000.

There are dual composite outputs...though I've heard the 2nd is
not currently enabled by software.  I haven't actually tried
either one - I use the S-video output.

It also has a USB port (front) and 2 firewire ports (back)...but my
googles have not turned up any way to make them useful.

I've heard both 35 and 40 hours.  Once mine fills up, I'll know for sure.
