| Got rid of my TiVO I had to get rid of my Tivo. I have Comcast and when they went all digital in October I could not tune any channels in on my TiVO. I could put it behind my cable box but that only allowed me to record what I was watching. Before I could record one thing and watch something else from my cable box. Anyone have a solution for me? |

| Ummm a cable card? |

| Just upgraded to HD Tivo, with M Card, works fine. I could live with a DVR with no fees myself, but the wife does not want change. I have to admit the GUI etc. is superb, and we've had Tivo since the first Directivo was released, and back then, that was expensive compared to today. As far as fees, I paid $200 for the box plus $299 for three years service. My last Tivo had a
2yr 10mo useful life and they rolled those two remaining months to the new one. I figure by 2013 , this thing will be a relic too. With FIOS they want $16 a month for DVR , that is $576 for 3yr for an inferior DVR IMO.
Another thing with Tivo, I've honestly never had to deal with any major bugs in the OS at all , and any minor ones get fixed via service updates |

Yes but I have to pay for that (not even sure I can get one from Comcast) where before I could just use my TiVo to record right from the cable itself. I just hooked it up to another input on my TV and away I go. I had paid way back when life time TiVo so I have been free and clear until now. I am guessing if I can get a card that it will be at least $5 or more a month! |

Do you have multiple inputs on your TV? Just split your cable and run the TiVo to a different input. The coax still carries the "analog signal" - the digital part comes form the Comcast set-top box. At least that is the way it is here... |
