If this is directed to me . . . No. I was never making any comparison on the guide content. If anything only that DISH sucks. My only comparison is the GUI. As you can see DISH is in that list too. So that means they both suck. I am hoping that DISH, once out from under the burden of suits from TiVo, might direct their attention to more accurate information in the guide, descriptions and show dates/NEW. Maybe with TVGuide or TitanTV. Along with a better look.
I have never seen so much erroneous information being openly disseminated and ignored by its recipients.
You mean like TiVO incorrect and virtually 0 description for BBC NewsNight that is so bad my TiVo series 3 insists on recording the same episodes at all its airings because the guide data is both incorrect and insufficient for the TiVo to prevent recording repeats when the timer was set for New Episodes?
True, there have been and will still be errors on Dish guide data (most often the fault of the channel, not Dish nor TiVo that often has the exact, same erroneous guide data, but not always), but TiVo has at least its share of poor guide data that is nearly as bad as Dish's in my experience of using my first generation Series 3 (2006), keeping in mind that they are provided guide data from the same source: Tribune Media. IMHO, overall, both Dish and TiVo rate about the same--very good-- in the quality or reliability of the guide data.
There is no doubt the TiVo has probably among the best looking backgrounds on its interface, and so does the Moxi HD. Yes, the prettiest colors and fonts that TiVO and Moxi HD have blow away any other DVR's out there. However, overall, as a functioning DVR with features and superior solutions, I still rate the Dish HD ViP boxes easily superior to my beautiful TiVo Series 3. The list item by item list of how the Dish ViP's are superior is too long to get into here, but the point is made.
I will say that the Moxi HD with its 3 tuners and far superior multi-room viewing solution along with its far greater external HDD capacity blows away not just the old Series 3/HD/HDXL, but even TiVo's just revealed TiVo Premier. I like my TiVo series 3, but please make your way to the TiVo forums where you will see TONS of post from TiVo fan boys who are extremely disappointed and upset that TiVo has done almost nothing the last 10 years to bring up to par with Moxi, etc., and many TiVo fan boys no longer like the GUI TiVo has had the last 10 years and find the new Premier GUI not what they thought is should be.
It's apparently more important to him than speed, reliability or stability. Well, to each his own.
