Get DirectTV and TIVO. It's better than any other out there... -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Ken Ferguson Sent: Monday, February 14, 2005 8:17 AM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: Totally OT: Comcast DVR box
The Comcast one is the blue TV Guide one. It's pretty nice - shows you a good span of time with few ads and leaves the picture and audio playing while you're in the guide (except when you're in the On Demand section). By the way, the On Demand movies... is just about the coolest thing ever. http://www.i-guide.tv/ http://www.i-guide.tv/A23/index.html --Ferg -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Jake McKee Sent: Monday, February 14, 2005 8:09 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: Totally OT: Comcast DVR box I read on the Motorola site that there are three different menuing systems available?
