  • SDNick484, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I have both MythTV and DirectTV with Tivo, and although Myth is nice, there's things that Tivo just does better. I've also used Comcast's DVR, and I must say it's by far the worst (clunky interface, poor season recording options -- like it doesn't catch when shows change their time, etc.).
  • Dhalgren, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I'm a MythTV guy myself...
  • Anth, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Yeah! Go TiVo. I'll continue to pay my $13/mo for my Tivo subscription.
  • FishyJoe, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Getting rid of that stupid CEO was the best move they've made.
  • LordHalo, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I think the announcement for Call For Help has something to do with it LOL (just kidding)
  • Randude, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Hey, maybe my stock will start to be worth something! Go tivo!
  • zeroboss, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Whoah...the temperature in Hell just dropped by 300 degrees.
  • AJGrossman, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I'm sure the poor quality of Comcast's own DVR is why they signed an agreement with TiVo to offer that service instead.

  • 16x9, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Paraphrasing a line used by some U.S. gun owners, "the only way you'll get my TiVo is to pry it from my cold dead, well, cabinet I guess."

    I think that all those open source TiVo options are great! But most people don't have the inclination or the ability to build a DVR using software like MythTV. And for that segment of the universe, TiVo is (in my opinion) the best. I'm glad they made a little money.

  • gohoos, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0TiVo is the best gadget I've ever owned, and I've owned most of them. Really. My MythTV box isn't nearly as useful as my Tivo.

    Glad to see they're starting to make money.
  • saysaknow, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0Damn, you mean it finally made some money now with all these open source programs available?
  • pox05, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0Comcast just sucks
