Re: I'll stick with my Tivo... I wouldn't want to switch either, if I paid that much for hardware.
I bought lifetime TiVo subs back in the standard def days, and got my money's worth out of them, but there's no way in hell I'd spend that much on a DVR now.
I've used TWC's DVR (which is still Comcast iGuide in our neck of Los Angeles), AT&T U-verse (Microsoft MediaRoom) and DirecTV's DVR. TWC's is the only one that's bad enough that would prompt me to fork money over for TiVo. Both the AT&T DVR and my current DirecTV DVR work very nicely for my purposes.
For some reason cable companies have a rough time making decent set top software. I do wonder what happened to the Comcast+Motorola TiVo. I hope this works out for Comcast.
DirecTV, after many years, has finally started offering integrated TiVo units again. Judging from the DBSTalk forums, most people see little point in spending an extra premium for it.

You can transfer that lifetime sub to a new Tivo-HD. That's what I did. |
