Jehu Premium join:2002-09-13 MA	I have a Tivo HD with 2 comcast cable cards. No issues. Having a real DVR is worth the loss of On Demand... but I do miss that the space-heater properties of the cable box

Probably because people have not seen TIVO. they know what one is, but have never owned one and only seen DVR's via their Cable Operator. If they see that their DVR has TIVO and it is crap, then it may dissuade them from even buying a real TIVO in the future.

Because they got an 8 yr contract with a guaranteed income stream after DirectTV started pushing their own boxes instead of Tivos. In other words, they needed the money to stay alive. -- Internet News My BLOG My Web Page

bcronin Premium join:2004-03-27 Hyde Park, NY	reply to KraziJoe Yeah but almost $22 a month? In a bit over 2 years you'd have broken even and had access to all the spiffy functionality that the ComCast TiVo apparently doesn't provide. It's another DirecTivo situation all over again (where the TiVo functionality was essentially frozen, leaving DirecTv TiVo owners feeling like second class citizens of the TiVoVerse).

fiberguy My views are my own. Premium join:2005-05-20	reply to b10010011 said by b10010011 : I wonder why Tivo would let them release such a crappy version of their product? This isn't being done by Comcast alone. This is a join effort .. so any bugs are the responsibility of them both. It took two signatures to release this one.. One from Comcast and the other from Tivo.
