| Cable PVR != Tivo There is no comparison whatsoever between cable PVR's and Tivo. I've used both... been a Tivo user for about 5 years now. Could never use anything else... But, the biggest bang for the buck is DirecTV Tivo (which is what I have). All digital, all the time. It'd be nice to have HMO, etc. but I'm not chomping at the bit for it. I have 3 DTivos (the oldest, a T60 is 120 hrs, which is way more than I need; the other two are 2nd gens).
Cable PVR's may only cost a few bucks a month but they cannot compare in function to Tivo. They are only a hard drive based VCR. No real season passes, etc etc etc. The only benefit I see to these is that if it breaks you simply call the local cable folks and tell 'em you need another (which my folks have had to do 3 times in the past year). Sure, Tivo's die (hey, my T60 and the other 1st gens are notorious for heat induced death) but I fix 'em myself.
YMMV of course.
LONG LIVE TIVO!  |
| I'm sorry to say your wrong. I had a tivo for 5 years and switch to comcast dvr. about the only feature it does not have is the thumbs up and down. I'm in washington state so we our dvr's run microsoft foundation. It has season pass's
the menu is so much faster than my old tivo. also no delay when changing channels. With the tivo I was paying 12.95 a month for the service. comcast cost me 15.00 per month.
Have a series 1 30 hr tivo real cheap if you want it.
Tivo needs to have dual tunners. That was always the biggest disapointment with it. |
