Come on Comcast. How hard is it really to get this out to more areas. It seems kind of counter-productive to just roll it out to a very, very small part of the country at a time, unless they're trying to wait out the SA boxes lifespan to move people over to Moto boxes that'll work with it.
David B @ Mar 25th 2008 5:58PM
It only runs on MOTO boxes? That's a shame, since I'm stuck with SA boxes and no indication that my local Comcast will EVER offer MOTO boxes. Too bad too, Comcast's SARA is just SOOOOO terrible.

The service is garbage anyway.. It's not TiVO, it's still a moto or sara box. Slow menus and a monthly fee FTL.
Mr. E @ Mar 14th 2008 12:12PM
Standalone TiVo has a much higher monthly fee. I'm on Cox, and I'm just hoping to get the software for the suggestions and search by keyword. Those alone would be more than worth a couple bucks a month for me.

As he was installing my cablecards my ComCast installer made two comments
1) The Comcast Tivo thing sucks
2) oh, TIVOHD is now only 250 or less? I'll have to pick one up
Jon @ Mar 14th 2008 10:43AM
I live in Western Mass , no Comcast Tivo in my area still

I live in Portland and would rather have SciFi HD than this... especially before BSG starts back up.
