We're moving soon (probably to time warner territory) and have been pretty annoyed with my Tivo Premiere as of late (online services don't work properly, slow hd menus, me using my appletv and airplay for functions beyond dvr features anyways) and am thinking I'll toss the tivo with the move.
Have cable company dvrs caught up yet? My gut is they have, but any reason to stick with tivo? I'll miss some of the idiosyncrasies, but most of the value added features of tivo aren't even working properly (with updates rare) so kicking it to the curb seems pretty tempting, but there must be a reason subscribers continue to stick by them...Right?
And to turn this into a useful thread (and not just me bitching), what's a modern tivo equivalent? I've tried Moxie and it had it's charms but was also too sluggish and crash happy. What's the best dvr out there? We're an OSX family (and I'm tired of overheating HTPCs and needing to have a mouse/keyboard on standby), and would consider computer add ons only if they're truly zero-maintanance.
Thanks!
