200$ to buy it
generally start at $100 after rebate, not $200
So, what's the price BEFORE rebate then?? I can get a PVR Box from Comcast added to my Cable Bill for a few $$$ more per month then what I'm already paying and have all the features of a TiVo at a cheaper price.
Pricing is what will ultimately make or break a product and when your competition does it better, faster & cheaper then you do, you either swim with the sharks or swim with the fishes...
Looks like TiVo's been fitted for their cement shoes... | |

i have a comcast DVR and i think it's great way to watch TV, but i wish they had that Tivo option.

Pricing is what will ultimately make or break a product and when your competition does it better, faster & cheaper then you do a tivo is does more than your comcast dvr does, and a tivo's hardware is much more powerful than any of the cable companies dvr boxes that i have seen (it actually is capable of doing a lot more than it currently does even, it's a basically a cheap computer)
tivo in the end is CHEAPER than getting service from a cable company, with tivo you buy the box plus lifetime fee, and that is it, after a couple years the tivo pays itself off, while you will be stuck paying comcast dvr fees for as long as you have the unit
there are only 2 reasons to even think about going with a cable company dvr over a tivo, built in dual tuners, and hd , if you don't need either of those tivo is the obvious choice
