Motorola’s Serious-Looking DVR"> Motorola’s Serious-Looking DVR

The folks over at PVRblog have a great look at Motorola’s new dual-tuner HDTV DVR for Comcast. While people are pronouncing my beloved TiVo dead, this unit is pretty powerful looking. Here’s what they said:

“While almost all reviews of cable company DVRs have been mostly poor, due to bad software, bad hardware, or an overall low quality experience, this one looks like a serious TiVo fighter, since it packs a lot of features you just can’t get in a TiVo.

“Dual tuners for cable - DirecTV users with TiVo know the joy of this. Basically season pass conflicts are rare once you’ve got two tuners going at once, plus you can watch other live programs while things tape, which comes in handy. Records HDTV - only 15 hours of HD content max, but there are only about ten channels on Comcast systems so it’s probably not too much of a problem. 60 hours of regular TV recording - pretty good number, probably using a 80 to 120 Gb drive to fit that much standard TV and HDTV.”
