You just haven't learned about Claude yet. His whole reason to post here is to post BS because he hates Dish.
Well, nothing is much more BS than saying Comcast is better...
When you put a TIVO on Comcast it's on the same playing field as Directv or Dish when it comes to quality. Picture looks awesome on my 55 inch LG OLED.
At least with Comcast you can get around all the fees by buying your own modem, or getting a TIVO with lifetime service and not paying any fees for additional Tv's. Then you can bundle your internet for more savings.
Some people like Corvette's, some people prefer Ferrari's. I'm not getting baited into this argument
I prefer Bentleys, myself
NFL starts today
I prefer a couch, a remote, and a six pack.
And a recording in process siren.
TiVo with a Fios would be my preference, but I don't live one of the few places that is possible.

Your eyes must be getting bad considering that Comcast now puts out a bit-starved 720P picture which is one of the reasons why I left them.
Don't you have to pay for a cable card from Comcast per tv box you want service , I think it's around 7 dollars per card . I am not sure but I would be willing to call that a Fee .
The Tivo Mini's are comparable to a Joey & have NO monthly fees whatsoever; once you buy them outright, they're free to use.
One $7.50 cable card will service all 6-tuners on a Tivo Roamio DVR & you can have up to 3 Mini's simultaneously in use per Tivo DVR; 10 mini's max connected per account.
Torture is getting home to Buffalo for the 1st time in 12 years, ironically sent here to work, not getting Sunday off when the Bills are opening the season on a gorgeous day vs a hated division rival.....
....and going right past the stadium an hour before kickoff to get to my next job.......

As a Dolphins fan, staying away from the Buffalo Bills is probably better for you long term. And since they played the Jets, it's better that you double the distance you stay away. You're welcome.
If all I had to worry about was a cablecard, I'd be a Tivo cable customer in a heartbeat. Alas, SDV means tuning adapters, which lull you into a false sense of, "hey, this totally hack of a solution actually works!" right before deciding to stop working altogether and causing all subsequent recordings on SDV channels to fail due to tuning issues. Having Charter involved where I live now make me even less likely to consider trying it again.
Tivo Minis are awesome BTW. If have a cable or fiber provider who does a good job of servicing Cablecard customers, Tivo is a great option.
Not with Comcast; they've never used them on ours, or any systems...but Charter DOES, so understand where you're coming from on that.
BUT, at least Charter's HD lineup all but blows away any other provider's...so with that being said, if I had them as an option, I'd have no problem at least giving them a try.
I thought the 1440 was only with the HD cameras that used the 8mm tapes but not the ones that used memory cards.
OK, I'll bite. How does the Tivo tune the SDV channels without a Tuning Adapter?
