JS, your comments may very well be prophetic. As a 10-year D*TV sub, I just cancelled my service to go to Comcast, and I eagerly await the Tivo box.

Yea, having had both tivud and replayed, I can say difinitively that the comcast dvr works the best.

I really think Directv will find out that many of those 85% of Tivo subs are actually loyal to the Tivo interface and not to the satellite. I plan on going comcast as soon as the Tivo is avail and scrapping my HR10-250 and two other direct tivos.

Owned a Replay, single tuners blow. I now own a dual tuner DTIVO hacked to do anything I could do with my Replay and more. Better picture quality, more features, lacks one thing – commercial skip. I’ll live. If Direct doesn’t figure out their new stuff stinks then when I need an HD box it’ll be someone else providing it. I know the existing HD boxes from Direct are TIVO but that won’t continue when they change video formats I’m sure. Direct was stupid to walk away from TIVO but I’ll take this TIVO box over a Replay any day. My Replay gathers dust in a closet…

That’s the big question… will the prices stay the same? I’m figuring it’ll be a $5/mo premium or something in that neighborhood. Though it’s possible they’ll count on getting many more DVR subscribers (and DTV converts?) by selling the TiVo brand name.

I have never owned TiVo or ReplayTV, but I do own a Comcast dual tuner box. I must say I’m happy I will be getting TiVo, and though the TiVo software might not have dual tuner capability now, it will in the future.

Things look good for TiVo and Comcast (as long as the price stays the same)
