Re: Tivo vs Comcast Tivo

Re: Tivo vs Comcast Tivo
OK, Thanks for all the helpful advice. I decided I'm just going to buy a Tivo since I already loath comcast. I noticed that there are all these differnet boxes, 40 hours, 80, 300 etc... What do you guys have?
I think an 80 should be more than enough but I don't really know, I don't watch much tv, I follow a few sitcoms here and there and I'll probably watch some NHL if gets off the ground otherwise I'll probably use it to record movies here and there... is 80 enough? I also see that some of them have DVD recorders, as in, I could just rip movies to dvd? How is this legal? Does anyone use this function? How useful is it? I also talked to my friend who suggested buying lifetime and then when they come out with a new model or I want a change I can just sell it on ebay. I was looking on ebay and people are currently selling their lifetime membership Tivos, should I just buy off ebay? Good idea/bad idea? Everyone says the lifetime warranty transfers since it's for the box, so is there anything else I need to worry about?

Re: Tivo vs Comcast Tivo
What are the complaints (specifics, please)? I don't know because I've only had the comcast DVR with the "record 2 at once" feature, and it seems pretty simple. Pretty easy to tell it to record the entire season of a show automaticaly. And if I see a show I want to record in the guide, I hit record, and it's programmed. What awesome functionality am I missing?

Re: Tivo vs Comcast Tivo
the tivo user interface is infinitely better than everything else i've seen/used. one of the more notable missing features is the wishlist function, where you can store searches. keyword, title, actor, director, category, etc. you can also have it auto-record based on those wishlists if you'd like instead of browsing. on my tivo, for example, i have a wishlist for anything that has 'poker' in the title.

Re: Tivo vs Comcast Tivo
Thanks! Seems like the comcast boxes better get a 'ware upgrade then. Keyword searching would be, well... key!

Re: Tivo vs Comcast Tivo
i actually have 2 dvrs. one is a moxi hd dual-tuner dvr from charter, the other is a series2 tivo. i split the cable and feed to both of them. i only use the moxi for digital/hd stuff, everything else is watched on the tivo because it's so much better (not to mention it has more space).

Re: Tivo vs Comcast Tivo
It is not even a comparison....
TIVO DOES NOT RECORD HI DEF Not to mention the Comcast has 2 tuners as opposed to Tivo's 1. Try recording 2 things at once on Tivo... Yeah, the interface on Tivo is slightly more friendly, but that is similar to saying that Phil Hellmuth's book has a better cover than HFAP, it may but who gives a [censored]...
