I am constantly fighting back and forth when I hit play after fast forwarding on the comcast box. Not only does it take me a few miliseconds to see the ads have finished, but the comcast remote/dvr is so unresponsive it takes a couple of seconds for the device to actually respond to button presses on the remote.

One highlight of the Tivo, is not only did they not screw up the ff, but despite advertiser complaints they left in the 30-sec skip. While they did remove the button, they left in the programming, http://hacks.oreilly.com/pub/h/491 . A Tivo enthusiast, I wholeheartedly agree with Karl’s post.

I wonder what actually drove them to make this switch? It was one of those scenarios where I was concerned that "good enough" gould end up killing a great product like Tivo. I guess it proves that all those DVR's were'nt good enough. Thank goodness, seems like it might take a while, which means I still have to wrestle with my crap DVR.
