@vio2112 *season passes - yup *wishlists - bell *swivel searches - whistle *Netflix - My Blu-ray(BD) does that *Amazon VOD - BD *YouTube - BD *Internet radio - BD *iPad Control - yup *Multi room - Bell *transfer to computer - whistle Sure, TiVo has more features. But is it really worth the cost for a box that will be quickly outdated (get the new cable box every year for free) and have an extra box in the home theater. Not worth it for me. Oh, and cable DVR is $10/month.

The cable version cost nothing up front?...We had five Time Warner Cable DVR's die in the last 2 years and every time we had to be pissed of by re programing the box. We now have 2 Tivo Premiere boxes in our house and they TOTALLY ROCK !!...For $140 it comes with a 3 year parts and labor warranty and they pay shipping. The monthly service is $13 a month...With all the great functions of the Tivo box we could care less if it dies in the next 3 years.

@lvlrSmooth Can it do season passes, wishlists, swivel searches, Netflix streaming, Amazon On Demand, YouTube streaming, internet radio? Can you control it with an iPad? Can you transfer recording between boxes(multi-room viewing)? Can you transfer shows to a computer(tivo desktop software)? The Tivo Premiere might not be revolutionary, but it still blows away any other DVR out there. Tivo praticaly invented the DVR. All the others are cheap imitations without half the features and ease of use.

The best part about TiVo was that you could program from the internet. Comcast lets you do this now and the smartphone app makes it even better. Can't think of a reason to not only pay $200+ up front but also have an extra box with extra wires in my already full entertainment center. Go generic DVR!!

@Siagos You wouldn't think so, but here we are. I have a low threshold for dumb comments. Next time keep them to yourself. K?

Sounds like someone can't afford a TiVo. Shame, it's really cool. I have two.
