I actually believe that the 5040 is the last ReplayTV unit with Commercial skip... ReplayTV and Tivo pretty much have the same functionality... I personally like the fact that I can send a show from my replay to a friends replay directly from the unit... The built in network adapter alone makes the ReplayTV more efficient and I can do much more with it... The only thing I really like about the Tivo is that the logo on the remote is actually a working button...
