I've had the comcast HD DVR for 3 years and just purchased a Series3 HD Tivo for $406 after the $200 rebate...not bad!
Anyway, what this does not illistrate is my main reason for purchasing the Tivo. The Comcast HD DVR IS SO BUGGY IT NEARLY DRIVES YOU MAD!!! Every single time you sit down to watch TV with it you are plagued with a dirt slow UI, freezes which once it unfreezes any button you pushed on the remote now catches up and who knows what you've done now, and even occasional freezes where it never recovers and you're forced to pull the power which stops any recordings, deletes your program guide, and takes hours to reconstruct once it's rebooted. The Comcast HD DVR is highly frustrating to use.
The new Series3 HD Tivo I just got on the other hand...what a dream. Not only does it have the Tivo UI which is by far the best I've ever used, but it all works perfectly and with speed. No more freezing with the dreaded remote button-catch-up. It was well worth the $400...I'm very happy to have Tivo again...I've missed it.
