Well, aside from an overall easier-to-use interface, and what tends to be a more reliable and robust program listing/description system, you also gain some of tivo's more advances features. What most consider to be tivos "defining" feature is their program suggestions system. The tivo software tracks what you record/watch, and will suggest other programs you might enjoy as well. When you have 300+ channels, this can become very usefull, as there tends to be many programs you would enjoy, but dont ever see/watch, because they are barried in the mass of listings.
hope that helps, pnh102 | |

As a Comcast customer who once had Dish.. the Comcast iGuide is a really poor ugly interface. | |

When I had Comcast prior to living in Mount Airy, I never had a problem with the HD and/or DVR service at all. I have the same box with Adelphia and the only problem I currently have is the On-Demand doesn't work correctly. As for the interface, I don't see it being very hard to use... I just press the "Record" button on the programs I want to record and they record.
