standalone hd tivos are directv only [/ QUOTE ] Really? No HD TiVo? Well I guess I was mistaken, then. I've got DirecTv, so I didn't look too hard into that one, but I thought it was there. |

Re: Tivo vs Comcast Tivo
Anyone have any idea when the HD tivo for DirecTV with DVD burning capability is slated to come out?
Is it already out there? |

Re: Tivo vs Comcast Tivo
everybody has pretty much made all the points already; there are pro's and cons with each choice.
basically, Tivo is slicker/nicer software, but Comcast is easier, and has the HD feature. |

The problem is that they've still got to work out whether the new high-def DVD format will be blu-ray or DVD-HD or whatever it's called. |

Re: Tivo vs Comcast Tivo
It's almost always better to buy, right ? Why would you rent a TIVO ? Basically, if comcast is behind it, it's a bad idea. Look what they did to one of my favorite channels, TechTV. They screwed it up. They bought it out and made it G4 and now it's crap.

Re: Tivo vs Comcast Tivo
Admittedly my Tivo was only the 40 hour version, but there seems to be much higher storage capacity in the Comcast version. And for as bad as Comcast's customer service is, Tivo's is a million times worse. Anybody ever try to get ahold of one of those jokers on the phone? Brutal.

Re: Tivo vs Comcast Tivo
FWIW, I've heard only complaints from friends that have Comcast. Usually complaints about the interface/functionality.

Re: Tivo vs Comcast Tivo
Some of those TIVO's can be opened up and upgraded. You can put bigger Harddrives in them for bigger storage space. I've heard some people putting terabyte Harddrive's in them. You should look into which models you can do that with.
