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...

Kath, get the one that Direct TV sells right now -- it's awesome.

It uses two inbound lines so it will record two programs at the same time for you, and it's got a big HD to it.

I think I paid 79 bucks including installation for mine a couple months ago, and the remote works almost as fast as it would without a Tivo hookup at all, one of the biggest things I noticed when using a stand alone Tivo was that it slowed down the remote control noticeably.
