The cable company DVRs can't match it, although the Motorola boxes come close -- the Scientific Atlanta boxes are so many light years away it's not even funny. I'm in an SA area and eventually I couldn't stand the horrendous Comcast DVR anymore. I've had two TiVos for several years and they are cornerstones of my media center. I would be extremely upset if I had to go back to a Comcast box. That said, I am not married to the hardware and if Comcast could get off their butts and get their boxes with TiVo software deployed I'm sure I could settle for that, should it come to it. But being in an SA area I can probably expect that to happen in 2029. -- "I'll follow the law until it's just stupid." -Ted Nugent

Windows Media Center (Vista) runs circles around TiVo… I am currently on a Fios phone and 10/2 internet package for under $70 bucks. I have all the major networks via an outdoor OTA antenna. I can usually find other programming over the internet, there is always something new in IPTV. I am completely fed up with paying for TV…200 channels and nothing is on. BTW: OTA HTDV quality rocks and it’s free.

Sorry but my tivohd does it all much better then a vista or windows 7 htpc can do and uses less energy and costs less. Until we see cable card adapters for a pc that can make use of on demand... an htpc makes 0 sense to many. -- "It's always funny until someone gets hurt......and then it's absolutely friggin' hysterical!"
