Good to hear, but I was hoping for something well before Christmas.

Comcast TIVO DVR....
I'm not sure if this has already been discussed, but just thought I'd throw it out there since there are SOOO many dissatisfied Motorola DVR users....
I while back i heard that Comcast had something in the works with TIVO for them to start making our DVR's....
Last week i confirmed it. I installed one of our DVR's in the home of one of TIVO's emplyees who happens to be working on this project(I live in the bay area where TIVO is based)
She had about 10 Direct tv Tivo's in her entertainment center that she uses for testing and wanted one of our crappy DVR's to check it out.
I talked to her for a while and she said they hope to have it ready by Christmas..although she said not to quote her on that.
Again she didnt promise, but she said she'd be surprised if it didnt have a bigger hard drive than what the Motorolas have.
I know it's still a ways away, but it should at least give us a little hope....those of us who wish we had more HD recording space, and well, a DVR that just works properlly....

I have the Comcast HD DVR (Motorola) and it's loud, runs VERY hot, and occasionally has problems setting up Season Passes. Not to mention some months ago it just stopped working and I had to get another one (lost all my recordings). Its interface can't even begin to compete with the ease of TiVo's.
However, recording HD is great and the dual tuner is heavenly.
As far as the news on the Comcast TiVo deal....I was under the impression we would see something earlier than Christmas. Christmas means 2007 for most markets.
