I'm actually ready to ditch my Tivo. Tivo + HDTV cable == bad combination!!! Anytime I'm watching a show in HD, the Tivo changes the channel 1/2 way through. 
I figure I can sell my 80 hr for around $100 and get an HDTV DVR from Comcast for only $10/month instead of $13. There will be some tradeoffs but my setup is killing me!

2. I'm paying $45/month for HD cable + HBO(Yes I'm a good negotiator!).
3. Equal Directv package(with 3 rooms) would be around $70/month!
3. I can't justify paying $579 just so I can subscribe to Directv when I can get a similar device from Comcast for free.
4. Comcast DVR will cost me $3 less a month...
5. Directv is trying to make their own DVR.
6. I like Tivo but, they really need to get their rear in gear to remain competitive(At least when it comes to digital content.).
