And I heard its a per household charge.
So if you have 2 DVR's and you call to add Tivo, both DVR's will be updated and you only have 1 additional 2.95 charge on the bill. |

said by Toguro  :Wow it is reasonably priced. Satan must be ice skating today. The price is reasonable. The question is - will the Comcast implementation of the Tivo interface be worth even that amount of money? I'll be looking at the reviews by BBR members that actually end up buying the Tivo upgrade when it is available before deciding on it myself.
Native Tivo on a purchased DVR has capabilities that allow hooking to the internet and the home network for showing home videos, pics, etc. I somehow doubt that the Comcast implementation will allow any of that, making its version a mere user interface upgrade.

AZ | Might as well get a tivo
And at that price, you've pretty much matched the monthly service charge for Tivo. I'll stick with my (upgraded) Tivo's thank you very much.

Re: Wow it is reasonably
This has been keeping me with Comcast for a bit, but I'm tired of waiting. The transfer between DVRs would be huge if they ever upgrade to that level.
FiOS is available in my area, but haven't made that jump yet either.
They still talking Q1 next year? |

Paying almost $20 a month for a DVR is reasonable?
I am still trying to figure out why are we so freaking stupid that we are even paying for the ability to record things to begin with.
Sure it provides a convenience but it certainly should not be anywhere near $20 a month. |

Re: Bend over Comcast people
said by Cabal :What additional services has Directv upgraded you to for free in the past year? If you were an original HD customer, they were upgrading you to a new HD DVR free. As well as the new 5-LNB dish. And we've been getting new HD channels pretty regularly for the past months....
Considering DirecTV's HD-DVR costs $5.99 per MONTH for however many boxes you have, $20 a month is HIGHWAY ROBBERY. Granted, it's no Tivo, but I've had them all (DirecTivo, Comcast DVR, HR-21) and they all are roughly the same.
Even factoring in the $199 for the DirecTV DVR, here's some hard #'s for 2 years:
DTV HR20/21 - $199 + ($5.99*24) = $342.76
Comcast DVR - $16.94 * 24 = $406.56
Comcast DVR + Tivo - $19.89 * 24 = $477.36
That's not counting the FACT that Comcast's DVR charge went up from $9.99 to $13.99 in the past 2 years I had them (now with DTV). So you can expect the Comcast rates to go up.
Lube up folks with Comcast.  |

For me directv would cost me more then comcast does.

Re: Wow it is reasonably
I am not stupid.. and I pay about $20 a month for Tivo service.. granted thats on 3 Tivos I own (an S3 and 2 S2's), but I atleast own the equipment, and the cost for me is about $7 a box I think, I would have to check the bill, but I have been with Tivo since 97ish.... |

Will Comcast's implementation of the TiVo interface allow multi-room viewing? If not, then it's a deal-breaker for me. |
