Re: DVR v. TiVo
[ QUOTE ]
My tivo is integrated with DirecTV...it's $5 a month with the Directv service. $6 a month? [/ QUOTE ] Tivo is the original, and is still the best. Plus the internet options to send other video, pictures, and music to other tivo users by ethernet is great. You truely get what you pay for.

Re: DVR v. TiVo
I [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] TiVo. The software is what pushes it above any run of the mill DVR. I paid for a lifetime subscription ($300), so I don't have to worry about monthly fees. I am also free to change my TV provider at any time- I am not tied to one service since I don't use their proprietary DVRs.
My TiVo is like a family member.

Re: DVR v. TiVo
The TiVo software is easier to use and has a lot of cool features like programming over the internet, downloading shows to your PC, etc. It also has less bugs than my Time Warner DVR.
BUT my Time Warner DVR is HD, can record 2 channels at once,or let me record one/watch a different one, and costs me $0 to buy and $8 a month instead of $100-$200 to buy and $13 a month. I'm keeping the TiVo because I've had one for years and I like it, but I wouldn't say it's so much better that's worth the extra money, and if you have HD it shouldn't even be an option. Having any DVR will make you totally dependant on it though, when I had just TiVo but not the HD DVR not being able to pause/rewind live TV was just brutal.

Re: DVR v. TiVo
I use Dish DVR, and I am very happy with it. I have never used tivo, but I have heard that you can only foward through commercials at 8x (correct me if I'm wrong). Dish DVR can foward at a rate of up to 300x, and it has a button that skips 30s foward with one push (so I just hit it 6 or 7 times, and I am through the commercials). I estimate I get throught comercial breaks in about 5 to 7 seconds.
