PNH102:
***Hmmm... maybe I was asking the wrong question. Ok... what would the Comcast Tivo box do for me that the current Comcast HD Dual DVR box does not do?***

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

Re: Difference?

Ability to network and transfer shows to a PC or schedule recordings from a browser?

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