Most all TiVo users don't know they can upgrade their hardware. Only a small percentage know about the hack. If hard drive space were an issue, then Windows Media Center would see more play in the DVR community. @Steve: TiVo is about the software and their features…not the hardware.

I actually don't mind the Comcast software, but Tivo's huge advantage is the ability to install a larger hard drive. Comcast's 160G is simply not large enough for HD content. If Comcast opened up the box and allowed larger drives, I wouldn't even consider Tivo... Gotta disagree about the hardware not being a Tivo selling point.

Can't wait to you and me get the TiVo. I don't really believe it is out and no one has it to prove me wrong. So I am waiting no matter how many bogus stories I read about TiVo being available in NE. JV IS a douche.

The old Comcast DVR user interface was passable, but the new one they rolled out several months ago is absolutely horrible. I was about to cancel the service altogether. I'll keep it if they are going to switch to TiVo's UI soon. Thank God. The old Comcast DVR user interface was passable, but the new one they rolled out several months ago is absolutely horrible.

I completely understand how you feel. For the record, I don't like Comcast either. It's the only game in town for me, though (too many buildings and trees for DirecTV). I don't like not having a choice and having to pay for "features" that I don't want or need, like cable boxes for every TV in the house. The main point I'm trying to get across is that I see the TiVo and Comcast partnership as a good step in making the fact that I have no choice besides Comcast sting a little less. Once fiberoptic service is available in my neighborhood, though, I'm jumping ship for sure. Not a problem at all. I completely understand how you feel.
