Unhappy with Cable/Sat DVRs (Score 1)

i've tried a few and they aren't even close to as usable as the TIVO, but its hard to compete with the price. From my experiences, TIVOs surprises have all be pleasant but with my cable and sat. I once told a friend, woudlnt it be cool if TIVO could... "yeah, it does it already" but with my dvrs, i start yelling at the boxes... WHY DID YOU DO THAT! its like no one has ever tried using their products. one of my second gen sat dvrs was far worse than a first release tivo. thats just my opinion, i know several people who would agree.
