I have had the High Def DirecTive in my Media room on the Pioneer Plama 52"since last october and Adeipha last week replaced the Bedroom Cable box with this Motorola DCT6400 series DVR for the same price to run the Toshiba 32 HLV 84 16X9 DVD combo set... Any While I have a strong cable signal I still see some problems on the high def stations... I have it realy for 3 stations I can not get On Direct Tivo High Def Maine PBS High Def and The INHD stations... so I can not realy comment on the standard analog cable stations... If I had never had a DVR I guess I would Love it But I was one of the first 100 folks east of the Mississippi to get the first direcTivo about a decade ago now and giving up things like slow motion and most especially the 30 sec skip ahead (select play select 30 select bing bing bing) I find very hard... the whole process of finding and setting up the recordings I want is a mess compared to TiVo the guide does not go out anything like the 13 days of DirecTiVo the search and suggestion functions of TiVo... it goes on and on It is very easy to see why Comcast has Signed up with TiVo
