Tivo vs Comcast Tivo

[AZK]

Is there any reason to get Comcast Tivo at $10/month rather than buying a Tivo on your own and getting the lifetime membership? I talked to the guys at tweeder who sold my dad a whole entertainment system and they suggested comcast tivo over regular tivo because it would be esier to hook everything up and it would be one less remote. Anyone have any experience with both?

Thanks.
