I've been using TiVo on Comcast for about 2 weeks now. It is somewhat buggy, but I'm happy to have my TiVo interface back. Here's the deal.
My TiVo port is to the Motorola DCH3416 with a 158G hard drive (20 hrs HD). Comcast left me with a new TiVo remote that has a few Comcast buttons for OnDemand and other minor functions. The installers spent 2 hours at my house fiddling with the HDMI interface (to my Samsung 1080p TV). Over the past 2 weeks, the HDMI has dropped out 3 times and forced me to reboot the DVR. This morning, the PAUSE/REW function stopped working. That is, the DVR was not buffering any video. Reboot fixed this too.
These are minor problems to me, but thought I'd share. Oh yeah, $14.95 install, $2.95/mo, box free.
“An engineer explained to us that hundreds of ear impressions were gathered in the name of research, and while each one obviously boasted its own unique shape and size, one single characteristic remained uniform across the board: the entrance into the ear canal is not a perfect circle, it's an oval.”
Now that we've thrown 'em off the trail, use the form below to get in touch with the people at Engadget. Please fill in all of the required fields because they're required.
