TiVo TCD648250B Series3 HD Digital Media Recorder (2008 Model)
Home again
I left Direct T.V. about a year ago and had to give my Tivo series 2 to my son. <br />I went with Comcast in Seattle and am thrilled with their service, but I hated the DVR that they  <br />provided, which uses Microsoft software. It missed portions of shows, and at times spontaneously <br />erased the entire hard drive with all my saved programs. <br /> <br />The menu was certainly not intuitive--it was clunky, and difficult to negotiate <br /> <br />Going back to Tivo, dispite the significant expense is like exchanging a Windows machine for an Apple. <br /> <br />The elegant operating system and ease of use--and reliability is worth it in my opinion.
