Re: When Comcast TiVo hits..

yes, and when those boxes break out of warranty, who is going to replace them? You are, at full cost. When my Tivo STB breaks, I take it back to the cable co, and I get the latest STB box thats out....for nothing more than my monthly rental fee. And your Series 2 will NEVER record in HD....so every time a major feature like that comes out, you will be stuck buying a new box to take advantage.

True my Series 2 will never record HD but being as I've had my boxes for some time I already know that. And its not an issue for be because I don't subscribe to HD channels and I don't have a plasma or LCD HD TV. Yes I'll have to replace my TiVos if they break but I'll always have all the features offered by TiVo. Your box supplied by Comcast will likely be locked out of updates just at the DirectTiVo boxes were. Thats the difference!

you clod, RTFA! DirecTiVos are going to get updates again, and Comcast and TiVo are under CONTRACT to provide software updates. Keep living in your dreamland.
