I wonder if the Tivo box will actually be an entirely new box, or just a software udpate for the existing boxes?  All I know is the new Tivo Series 3 shown at CES is by far the most impressive DVR I've ever seen and I'll be buying/leasing one the very day they are released.  I can't wait to get rid of the buggy comcast dvr and replace it with a Series 3 Tivo!!]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Brian]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jan 18th 2006 4:15PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.engadgethd.com/2006/01/18/new-dvr-coming-from-comcast-and-panasonic/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadgethd.com/2006/01/18/new-dvr-coming-from-comcast-and-panasonic/</guid><description><![CDATA[This would be sweet, and I would love to swap out my DVR for the new one, but comcast is SO slow to get anything done.  I was supposed to have OnDemand in my area last summer...]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[tommiwan]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jan 18th 2006 4:28PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.engadgethd.com/2006/01/18/new-dvr-coming-from-comcast-and-panasonic/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadgethd.com/2006/01/18/new-dvr-coming-from-comcast-and-panasonic/</guid><description><![CDATA[I can't wait, and by that I mean I will probable have fired comcast again long before they can release these, comcast release cycles being measured in decades. The Current Motorola dvr comcast has with MS foundation completely suck (we have two), the guide data for HD is totally useless, and the boxes are buggy as hell. At first I thought it was ok but the longer I leave with it the more problems I find, the db self corrupts, the guide data dumps on a reboot (which is needed a lot), the dam thing simple fails to record often or will only record a couple seconds of show. It has no error tracking or records. There is no way to even transfer your scheduled stuff so if you have 50 plus things getting a new unit represents hours of work and that is after it takes the POS DAYS to rebuild it's complete guide data. I switched from a direct tv HD tivo, and it had it's issues and certainly suffered from a lack of love. Poky as the UI was at least everything worked, it never ONCE failed to do what it was supposed to do, corrupted it's own data or just plain failed to execute. *sigh* Hell the dam things don't do anything useful in way of interfacing with MCE of course, and of the dozens of ports they have none of them work (probable thank comcast for that).<br>My point? These things might be better they might not, cable companies suck, in fact all providers do, go OTA and bit torrent if you can.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Griffon]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jan 18th 2006 11:09PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.engadgethd.com/2006/01/18/new-dvr-coming-from-comcast-and-panasonic/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadgethd.com/2006/01/18/new-dvr-coming-from-comcast-and-panasonic/</guid><description><![CDATA[For a less rosy view on OCAP:<br><a href='http://www.zatznotfunny.com/2006-01/ocap-whos-capping-whom/'>http://www.zatznotfunny.com/2006-01/ocap-whos-capping-whom/</a>]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Dave Zatz]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jan 19th 2006 7:35AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.engadgethd.com/2006/01/18/new-dvr-coming-from-comcast-and-panasonic/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadgethd.com/2006/01/18/new-dvr-coming-from-comcast-and-panasonic/</guid><description><![CDATA[MY current MOTO box is utter shite.  I am praying that these new boxes will roll out quickly - and without added expense.  Good luck, right?  Perhaps HDTiVo is the answer...  Who will get me first??<br><br>]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[JD]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Feb 9th 2006 8:00PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.engadgethd.com/2006/01/18/new-dvr-coming-from-comcast-and-panasonic/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadgethd.com/2006/01/18/new-dvr-coming-from-comcast-and-panasonic/</guid><description><![CDATA[I've had Comcast's Moto DVR for over a year now, I believe.  The box had a few issues in the early days, but nothing to bad.  Over the last two months or so, that has really changed.  The box has turned to complete crap.  Freezes for minutes at a time, won't decode channels, sound cuts out - all kind of things that require the power cord being yanked about every three days or so.<br><br>I'm this || close to trying out DirecTivo.  My wife is ready to take a hammer to the thing, and friends that we recommended the Comcast box to are tired of it.  Fortunately with spring right around the corner, I won't be catching much TV so I can be patient with them.  If there's no new box by mid-summer, I'm out of Comcast.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Dave]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Feb 20th 2006 4:19PM</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
