I have two of the Cox DVRs in my home, and would like to know how Tivo could be any better. The Cox system is easy to use, records two shows simultaneously, or records one while you are watching something else, and you can watch one recorded program while it is recording another.. It has search by date and or title, etc.
What does Tivo offer that is above that?
Personally, although there is some good info on Wikipedia, I do not trust anything there, and have to search further to determine what to believe.
The fact that ANYONE can post/edit the information makes it far less than trustworthy. There are way too many frustrated "writers" who use the internet for their electronic vandalism.
If anyone posting to Wikipedia had to divulge their REAL identity, and have to back up the "facts" posted, it could approach some modicum of respectability. Until anonymous access is totally denied, it will never be seen as reasonably accurate in my opinion.
For now, I will trust Brittanica, or like sources, but not Wikipedia!
