Re: Tivo is the best DVR you can get - no comparison I hear you - yes the cable co DVR's usually have some of the same basic features, but in my opinion, Tivo implements those same feature much better. Mostly because the cable co DVR's are so slow and awkward to accomplish the same task.
Other things that set Tivo's apart and may not matter for many people are the ability to use "Tivo to Go" and download your recorded content onto a computer or mobile device for viewing away from your Tivo box. Also the ability to subscribe to webcast downloads, use web based movie PPV, multi-room viewing, web scheduling, photo/movie/music viewer for your own content, expandable recording capacity, etc. etc.
For me, the Tivo is much easier to use than the cable co DVR's and all the other benefits are a bonus. |

| I actually found my Motorola box faster than TiVo for the most part. You could press the "Day +/-" buttons to jump a full day foward and backward in the grid guide. Very handy for scheduling recordings around prime time. In general, the Comcast grid guide moved faster and with less delay. I could also re-order its season passes without that blasted "Please wait...". Ooh that was always my peeve with TiVo. The list of recordings came up instantly instead of after a long delay (they finally fixed this on TiVo when they added folders, but the fix was WAY WAY overdue).
Don't have much need for TiVoToGo. The broadband/HMO integrated functions might be interesting but I've always had a MediaCenter PC attached to my TV so I don't really need those either.
