The Tivo software is much more sofisticated and user friendly than the current Comcast DVR software. I am a TIVO owener for 2 plus years. I recently added a Comcast HD DVR for my new home theater room. So I feel like I am well qualified to answer your question. Its like comparing a Mercedes to a Yugo. They both get the job done, but the TIVO experience is much more enjoyable.

Here are the areas that TIVo is much better than my Motorolla DVR:

1) Scheduling. Tivo is a piece of cake. After 3 months my wife or kids still don't know how to schedule a show on the Motorolla.

2)Recordings - Tivo is much more flexibile about recording start times, stop times, ect. It also is better at figuring conflicts in recordings. Basically you never miss a show.

3)Searching- TIVO has much better searching capabilities. Easy to find the show you want to record.

4) KidZone - Tivo provide th ultimate in parenatal controls. You can decide what channels, what shows, even which episodes your kids can watch.

5) Home Media Center- Tivo supports other content as well. TIVo can play MP3, video files, photos ect from your home computer. And its a piece of cake to setup. I play MP3 through my home stereo through the TIVO. Sounds great!.

There lots of other things, too, like the little tricks witht he remote, ect that make TIVO more customizable to the user.

Basically, I can't wait for the TIVO upgrade from Comcast.
