hmmm since I believe that time warner's new dvr is a tivo or is it teavo anwyay I am wondering if the same accessibility works with that. I have an old series 2, but another 12 a month for it when the time warner box has dvr for free is hard to justify. anyone know? I'm considering going back to cable since I could get cable internet and phone for only 35 more than i am paying for my dsl internet now
