The ComcastTivo boxes are not as bad as everyone says they are, however, they still can't come close to a real TivoHD -- both in terms of speed and in terms of use. The Moto boxes simply are underpowered and slow. I get a lag every time a recording starts as well as just from general use. For now, I'm keeping my ComcastTivo on my bedroom TV with a real TivoHD in my living room. As soon as I have a tru2way Tivo option, I'll dump the ComcastTivo.
The ComcastTivo, while buggy and not nearly as good as a real Tivo is still more functional than the default iGuide software that Comcast provides. Wishlist recordings alone make it worthwhile.
