No Tivo for me

I'm not paying for a Tivo when they still don't have their act together and have a new HD user interface. Their screens are still pretty much the same from their inception.

I'm also not paying for a Tivo when I can't tap into Comcast's impressive Video on Demand library. With limited tuners, hard drive space, and HD Channels, the VOD library supplements normal TV viewing nicely.

Sorry Tivo... Fix those two things and maybe you'll have a winner.

And that Comcast Tivo? What a joke. We started talking about that in 2005 and now near the end of 2009 it still hasn't made it's way out of the New England Region. What happened to the Chicago test market? What happened to a national Tivo rollout. It's something I would surely try, as I-Guide is pretty bland and featureless.

yes, having access to your Cable Company VOD offerings with TiVo would be nice. I used to have an HD STB just for VOD when I had comcast and FIOS, but I realized I rarely used it, and when I did the picture was even worse than broadcast. Filled with even more macroblocking.
in the end I dropped the HD STBs since almost anything they offer from VOD I can get by other means . I certainly haven't missed it, but it still would be a nice feature to have it on the TiVo.

Maybe the New TiVo coming out next year from BestBuy will have access to the cable companies VOD.
If it does I will purchase one and replace one of my TiVo HD boxes.
