I just signed up for Comcast DVR (because of the new 1080p set) and it's nice, but definitely NO TiVo. Andy, Here's why:
No Season Pass feature. I like Survivor. I tell it to record it, and it does - every new episdoe, skipping repeats and it even knows when it airs on a special night and records it for me.
Finding Programs to Record. It's so much easier to do.
Sending programs to my computer. When my hard drive on TiVo fills up, I can send some programs to my computer to store them there. I can then watch them on my computer OR send them back to my TiVo OR another TiVo and any time.
TiVo interface - It's very intuitive, especially in comparison to Comcast's interface
That said... I also like Comcast because there Guide is very nice, and it allows me to skip a day ahead or back (very nice) all while still watching live TV (in a small window). $9.95 for being able to record 2 HD shows at the same time is awesome, and the reason why I went with the DVR features despite having 2 TiVos.
