Tivo thinks I'm gay

Speaking of TiVo..... we HAVE to break down and get one. My question is - what is better? The actual TiVo deal or the DVR things that you can get with digital cable? We currently have satellite but are considering switching - we've had that "searching for signal" thing WAY too often lately, usually in the last 10 minutes of a really good movie! :angry:

Anyone know if there's much of a difference between the two? They seem the same at first glance...

TIA...

I've had both and I would never go back to the stand alone.

However:

1) To call and download programming is an LD call for me and no way to program in a calling card. I was paying an additional $25+ just for LD calls. The satellite does it now and I'm not stuck with pesky recommendations like Colin

2) I NEVER could get the stupid channel changer to work with the satellite box so I would have to be there to change the channel if I wanted it to record something on different channels.

3) Because I have all the satellite channels, I get the TiVo programming for free.

I would be lost without my TiVo
