Tivo still looks like it was made for kids in the 80's, so that needs updating. Moxi is hardly used so not much comparison there. So that leaves what? Not much else.

Bought the Series 3 when allowed to bring over my lifetime Series 2 subscription for $199. Plus $300 for the unit, $500. At $12.95 a month, the Series 3 will have paid for itself after 38 months. I've already owned it for 18 months. In 20 months it will have paid for itself....then it's a freebie from there. Sure I can't do PPV, but PSN and Amazon have those covered now.

So suck it up, buy one and be done with it. Cable companies are evil. ]]>Jun 22nd 2009 2:07PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/22/tivo-coming-to-time-warner-cable-potentially-lots-of-other-prov/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/22/tivo-coming-to-time-warner-cable-potentially-lots-of-other-prov/Jun 22nd 2009 2:16PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/22/tivo-coming-to-time-warner-cable-potentially-lots-of-other-prov/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/22/tivo-coming-to-time-warner-cable-potentially-lots-of-other-prov/Jun 22nd 2009 7:46PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/22/tivo-coming-to-time-warner-cable-potentially-lots-of-other-prov/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/22/tivo-coming-to-time-warner-cable-potentially-lots-of-other-prov/
Quite simply, they deserve the DVR market because they CREATED it. You cannot compare them to other evil companies (Take your pick) that grew up with each other. TiVo was all alone until everyone started copying what they did.

They managed to get themselves a patent on:

cat /dev/video0 > tivo.mpg; mplayer tivo.mpg

and managed to find a judge senile to let them keep their BS patent.

The fact that they managed to find a senile enough judge/jury doesn't alter the
fact that they are trolling oportunists that just happened to patent the obvious
once technology was sufficiently advanced to allow a computer based VCR.]]>Jun 22nd 2009 11:24PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/22/tivo-coming-to-time-warner-cable-potentially-lots-of-other-prov/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/22/tivo-coming-to-time-warner-cable-potentially-lots-of-other-prov/Jun 22nd 2009 2:15PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/22/tivo-coming-to-time-warner-cable-potentially-lots-of-other-prov/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/22/tivo-coming-to-time-warner-cable-potentially-lots-of-other-prov/Jun 22nd 2009 4:00PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/22/tivo-coming-to-time-warner-cable-potentially-lots-of-other-prov/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/22/tivo-coming-to-time-warner-cable-potentially-lots-of-other-prov/Jun 22nd 2009 2:31PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/22/tivo-coming-to-time-warner-cable-potentially-lots-of-other-prov/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/22/tivo-coming-to-time-warner-cable-potentially-lots-of-other-prov/
On the other hand, I already have Tivo with cablecard (RCN), and it works great. What would I gain if RCN offered Tivo? I'd probably get screwed on teh cable card, pay more for Tivo because I'd be paying for the box as part of the monthly subscription, and who knows how it would be crippled.]]>Jun 22nd 2009 2:33PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/22/tivo-coming-to-time-warner-cable-potentially-lots-of-other-prov/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/22/tivo-coming-to-time-warner-cable-potentially-lots-of-other-prov/Jun 22nd 2009 2:36PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/22/tivo-coming-to-time-warner-cable-potentially-lots-of-other-prov/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/22/tivo-coming-to-time-warner-cable-potentially-lots-of-other-prov/Jun 22nd 2009 2:41PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/22/tivo-coming-to-time-warner-cable-potentially-lots-of-other-prov/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/22/tivo-coming-to-time-warner-cable-potentially-lots-of-other-prov/
And for what it's worth, Moxi is more expensive than a Tivo HD with lifetime.

I've let this go long enough. It's time to step into the 90's and include streaming on your product. WHY in the world can't you just pull files form a windows share?


I want a second TiVo, but you're holding me up here. Time to improve your product, or I'll look elsewhere.




PS: After having used my TiVo S3 and my parents DishNetwork VIP22, there is no contest. I can't even figure out how to switch between tuners on the Dish while the TiVo does it in the background. Beautiful. But if I have to build another windows PC and use WMC to get streaming, I'll do it (I'm antenna only anyway).]]>Jun 22nd 2009 3:26PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/22/tivo-coming-to-time-warner-cable-potentially-lots-of-other-prov/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/22/tivo-coming-to-time-warner-cable-potentially-lots-of-other-prov/Jun 22nd 2009 3:19PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/22/tivo-coming-to-time-warner-cable-potentially-lots-of-other-prov/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/22/tivo-coming-to-time-warner-cable-potentially-lots-of-other-prov/

But, I suspect since you only think DVRs "record TV shows," you won't ever take the plunge and buy a TiVo (or the MOXI that Malicaide linked to, which also looks pretty awesome).]]>Jun 22nd 2009 3:25PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/22/tivo-coming-to-time-warner-cable-potentially-lots-of-other-prov/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/22/tivo-coming-to-time-warner-cable-potentially-lots-of-other-prov/

Tivo still has the PVR dialed in better than anyone on the market from what I can see. I would LOVE to have it back.]]>Jun 22nd 2009 3:33PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/22/tivo-coming-to-time-warner-cable-potentially-lots-of-other-prov/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/22/tivo-coming-to-time-warner-cable-potentially-lots-of-other-prov/
I would like to see TiVo start winning some business with the cable companies - so they can spread their development costs over a bigger installed base, bringing down the price. That's why the free-standing HD boxes have such eye-popping prices right now - too much development cost being spread over too small of an installed base. If they have to use their patent rights to muscle their way into a deal with the cable companies - that is nothing but good news for consumers. Nobody would choose a Motorola DVR over a TiVo DVR if they were available at anything close to the same price.
