Re: Yep,
Yeah tivo likes to give out quality products albeit they are usually a bit crippled, but they are solid and stable.
On the other hand I think comcast may be back peddling because tivo didn't give them the ok.
Side note. Why would they rape us for a tivo add on to the boxes. Why not just role out the tivo firmware to every dvr for free, I mean really we already pay a small fortune for a dvr now.

| A small fortune for a dual-tuner HD DVR? Do you realize how much the HD Tivo cost currently? They cost around $700-800 unless there happens to be a good deal online somehwere. The Comcast Dual-tuner HD DVR is (in my area) $5 more a month then a standard cable box......seems like a much better deal to me! If it breaks I can get a replacment the same day if needed at a service center for free.
Personally I think its a good deal, and don't really feel like I'm paying a small fortune for it  |

I don't , I am waiting for cable card based converters that may support the VoD , not that I even use it.

I am paying $5 over a regular box.
