I have a Comcast HDTV PVR, all because of Tivo.
So you probably heard of the free Tivo giveaway that happened on Friday. I’m not sure what the outcome was, but because of it, I got a Comcast HDTV PVR.
You see, on Thursday, Tivo was spreading FUD by saying that you could get a free Tivo on Friday, instead of waiting for weeks on end for a Comcast PVR. Of course, the free unit doesn’t do HDTV.
So on Thursday I called Comcast to find out what the waiting list was for the HDTV PVR - lo and behold, they have them in stock. On Friday they installed it, and now I can pause live tv.
After I spend some more time with it, I’ll write a review, but so far it has been fantastic. I recorded The Last Samurai the other day, and it looks just great. All for $9.99 a month (with a $15 installation fee).
Here’s a really useful FAQ page for the device (hard to find): http://broadband.motorola.com/dvr/news_faq.asp
