I had a Standard Def Tivo for almost a month while toying over the idea of getting HD. I LOVED it- I would have kept it if it didn't conk out on me.
I now have Rogers 8300 HDTV PVR(extended with a 1.5TB hard drive), and it doesn't hold a candle to the Tivo. Other than receiving HD - the Tivo was easier to search for tv shows and movies. The Tivo was also easier to use- more efficient, and MUCH better interface. You could transfer shows to ipods/ computer, you could organize the recordings by file, you could search based on actor for movies/tv... I miss my Tivo!!!
If Tivo HD doesn't come to Canada - if either Bell or Rogers steps up their game and gives us a better product, I'd switch in a heartbeat. Half a heartbeat.
