My TiVo Story May 24, 2007 Mike Garcen I think this is a good article because of the temptation to just go with your cable co's DVR. Sure it's cheaper, but there's a reason TiVo costs a premium. This article gives a nice write up of what it's like to switch from the dark side. ExtremeTech  All I would need is a pair of CableCARDs from Comcast and I could ditch that awful cable box. Without the CableCARDs, the TiVo works fine with analog cable, but I don't get digital channels, and that means no hi-def. So I call Comcast customer support, wait on hold for 15 minutes, and tell the nice customer service lady that I have digital cable now, and I'm going to turn in my box and get a TiVo Series 3.
