TiVo Series3 vs Motorola DCT6412 image gallery {Engadget HD}
Jul 5th 2007 2:27PM Your comments: A huge omission in these screen shots is the Tivo's wishlist search feature vs Motorola's. Tivo's guide provides much more info and search capability and flexibility than the Motorola, it's one of the main reasons I switched to the S3.
One example is for my local baseball team's games in HD. On the Motorola I could only search for
"MLB Baseball" title, then scroll through everything and pick the games I want, and I have to do this every week since the Motorola's HDD space is so limited.On S3, I do a search for my team name, add a HD only filter, add sub category for sport event so I can avoid all the talk shows, set the wishliet ti auto-record, then I never have to worry about it again.

Comcast DVR with TiVo: pics, features {Engadget}
Jan 10th 2007 11:09AM What Tivo is worth depends on how much you need the features. I used to have the Comcast DVR, and in the summer, every week I have to spend 30min looking for HD copy of my local team's baseball games (FSN and one of my local SD station also carry a lot of them in SD), then I have to manually set everyone of them to record 30 min longer at the end to catch extra innings. In Tivo, I set a wishlist, and it's done, I never have to worry again. Same goes for other sports, where Tivo's wishlist search cleans Comcast DVR's clock. Saving 1-2 hour a month messing with the DVR alone is worth $5-10, plus the added stability (Comcast DVR loses cable signal once every 1-2 months), smooth trick play (Comcast DVR response really slow in 1 speed rewind).
