We were told last year that Comcast was creating a version of the I-Guide for SA, and would roll it out in Q3 of 2007. Well, there has been absolutely ZERO news or info on this since the initial report well over a year ago (closer to 2 years, probably). So it looks like that won't be happening anytime soon.

Now with Tivo, just hearing now that they will begin porting the software over for SA boxes, I'm not going to hold my breath. It's likely that by the Tivo is available on the SA boxes, the 8300 will be obsolete.

I am very tempted by the new TivoHD DVR, but the fact that the HD war is about to begin (as soon as DirecTV starts making all their new HD channels available in a few weeks), I'm afraid that Comcast may start using switched digital video for new HD channels sooner than later, and I'd be stuck without the new HD channels on a Tivo HD DVR, waiting for someone to actually create the "tuning resolver" so I can watch them.

I'd settle with Comcast giving us a sexier interface on the SA boxes. It's so clunky! But, it is functional.
