questions about Time Warner DVR, TIVO and Replay
DH and I are thinking about getting a DVR box through time warner, but we are wondering how this compares to TIVO and Replay. Can someone explain the differences and or benefits/drawbacks to each of these systems? If you have one of them, are you happy with it?

Get the Time Warner DVR because its an all-in one box.
If you get Tivo or Replay... it acts as a "middle" box and its a little more involved.
The only good thing about Tivo or Replay is they are hackable if you are technical enough. There are a number of things you can do with a hacked box (like download shows you recorded to your computer and burn to DVD).
So that may be beneficial to you if you are looking for hacks.

I have Time warner DVR - If you have any ?'s about any of the features let me know! We have had it for about a year and a half - 2 years and are very happy with it.

Thanks Rich...I knew you'd have info about this!
DH loves things he can hack, but I was just on the TIVO and replay websites and realized they need phone lines to work. We don't have a regular landline, just VOIP, so that wouldn't work.

I think I answered my own questions 2 minutes after posting! With TIVO and Replay, you need to buy a box plus pay $12.95 monthly! DVR is just $8.95 monthly for the box - can't compare!
