I haven't looked closely at this, yet, because I really hate the thought of giving any additional money to Comcast.
Yeah, I'll admit that that's part of my motivation here. The TiVo I'm contemplating is *quite* expensive, but it would pay for itself in a few years, and the money isn't going to Comcast.
If I had to wire a controller from the TiVo to the cablebox, I'd think twice about it -- years of having a cable mouse on the VCR make me cautious. But the HD TiVos not only take CableCards, they take two of them, so my inclination is to scrap the cablebox entirely and focus on those. The result will be that, whereas the Panasonic is essentially at the edge of our current video topology, the TiVo will be front and center...
