Well, I got the SonicBlue ReplayTV yesterday. So far I have to say TIVO is better. TIVO implements it's system in a more user friendly way. SonicBlue is not a bad company. The ReplayTV does have 3 things I really like. Such as, Ethernet connection to update instead of telephone line, automatically skips commercial when viewing recorded material and can program to record a show from the Internet so don't have to be home. But, if I had to recommend a PVR/DVR to someone I have to say I like the TIVO better.
