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.

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).

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.

What am I missing here? Why would you get one of these instead of a stock series 3 or TiVoHD with cablecards? Does ComCast not support cablecards? Isn't that illegal? Just wonderin.
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.
