I hope they don't get too greedy with the pricing. For $3/month I'm probably in but an extra $7 is too much. $19/month total for an aging 120GB DVR, regardless of the software, is not a good value.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,19232004 Wed, 10 Oct 2007 18:13:05 EDT Re: Finally http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,19231955 N3OGH : $150 deposit? No shit.

That sucks. They hit me for no such fee when I got my DVR box.

My Motorola Comcast box is a wonderland of jittery HD feeds that remind me of a YouTube streaming video with buffering issues.

I was watching the Phils beat Washington 2 Sunday's ago in HD, and every time there was some "action" in the game, it lost a few frames, and then picked up.

It was INFINITELY OBNOXIOUS. I was so pissed I wanted to head to the local Comcast office with a hammer and smash something ;).

Instead, I had a nice spot of scotch and put my feet up. I'll be able to drop Comcast soon enough for Fios TV, so sooner than later I'll be voting with my all mighty dollar.

Wanna screw a cable, TV, or ISP provider? Take your cash elsewhere, it's all they really care about...

It's a download to the existing line of Motorola DVR's (and in the future SA & Panasonic DVRs).

You'll have your standard DVR service (around 11.95 a month) and then you can opt in for deluxe DVR service (possible $3-7 more than the standard DVR service). They will add the code to the billing system and you will get the new Tivo firmware downloaded to your DVR.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,19229850 Wed, 10 Oct 2007 11:52:21 EDT Re: Finally http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,19229688 MightyPez : And I'm in different in that respect. The software platforms are what get the yays and nays. I loved using my DirecTivo because it was intuitive and easy to use. That, and I was able to hack the piss out of the OS for tons of functionality.

But when I try to use DVR's like Comcasts Motorola with their own software, it's frustrating to no end. ]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,19229688 Wed, 10 Oct 2007 11:14:01 EDT Re: Finally http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,19229671 wifi4milez :

They will not be providing TIVO's, thats the thing. They will be providing their standard Motorola and SA boxes with TIVO software. This software should clearly be better than what they currently have installed, but the DVR's may not be as good as a pure TIVO device. There are other factors to keep in mind here, capacity, processor speed, etc. Just an FYI.....

I'm a new Comcast subscribers and they wanted me to put a ~$150 deposit on a DVR box. From all the horror stories I've been told about their current boxes, I decided to wait.

$150.00 was most likey due to your credit history not because it was a dvr box.
