It sounds a little bit different, but has the same melody. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UQPkqvwziBI I can’t tell for sure, but I think that this may be the same song that TiVo used in their SKY TiVo ad back in 2000.

Didn't mean to come across that way. I just wish providers would leverage the hardware in the DCH and DCT DVR's and write better software. Look how nice the AT&T UVerse guide is on the Motorola VIP1220! Let's see someone like Comcast get with the program! http://www.dslreports.com/forum/r21349123-ATTs-set-top-software-is-far-better Oh I know it’s not Motorola’s guide.

It's just Motorola hardware - for both the traditional Comcast UI and the new TiVo one. @cypherstream It’s not Motorola’s guide!!!

It's taking them this long just to get to one other city! They need to do something with the DVR software. Verizon, AT&T, Dish Network and DirecTV all have software that can run circles around the horrible Motorola I-Guide DVR. I'd get Comcast Tivo just for the change. Or Moxi (if they offered it), or even Passport on an SA8300HDC (if it was available). That bland I-Guide may of worked in 1996, but now in 2008 it's time to get with the program. Modernize the interface and add some basic features like grouping of shows in folders, Multi Room DVR, Games and interactivity (like yellow pages, imdb, email lookup), Internet DVR programming, ability to network with your PC (like Fios and DirecTV), and a 16:9 (at least 720p) widescreen guide.

For some strange reason it made me think of Pushing Daisies. Cute is a nice way to put that. For some strange reason it made me think of Pushing Daisies.

Comcast+TiVo television (?) commercial on YouTube, which I updated the post with. Cute. I also came across a new (?) Comcast+TiVo television (?) commercial on YouTube, which I updated the post with.
