Re: When Comcast TiVo hits..

Maybe but the problem with your scenario is that after you have paid for the box you'll continue paying for it for as long as you have the service. Thats not exactly a huge benefit!
I am in the boat right now where I am considering a move to Comcast. However, paying $300 for a new box isn't attractive to me. Even if the Comcast Tivo rental is $15 a month (which is seriously inflated), it will take 20 months just to break even.

I remember when cable modems first came out and the price on those were about $300. You could rent a modem for $10, and that was the right thing to do at the time. Now these cable modems aren't worth renting even at $3 a month because you can get them so inexpensively.
