I have two of these boxes through Cox Cable... They're OK for what they do, but there's some serious limitations.

1 Week EPG? Come On. Data is available 2 weeks. give it to me so I dont have to schedule every sunday.

Give me some options on programming i want to save!! I decided to record opening ceremonies at the olympics in HD, and it gave me no warning that it would also wipe out like 3 other movies i had saved to watch at a later date.

Finally, if i hit pause and for some reason it stays on pause for a long period, the machine gets totally broken which causes me to have to cycle the box in order for any PVR functionality to work again.

I'm angry with TiVo with some of their business decisions and their lack of updated high quality equipment, but they sure do have probably the best interface of PVR software. I wish cableco's would faster integrate it.
