I own three DVRs, one being a TIVO and I have to admit, TIVO by far has the best software and best interface.

You don't realize how nice it is until you try to perform a simple feature a find it's either not there or doesn't work the way you expect.

TIVO for example has an undocumented commercial skip feature which works really well.

TIVO also has the best way to move forward and backward through a program, say if you're already seen part of it, and you want to get somewhere else in the program quickly.

TIVO is really "smart" when it comes to season passes, first run episodes, searching, and wish lists.

It's recommendation option, once "taught" works pretty well.

My only complaints regarding TIVO is that I still think the monthly service is too expensive for what you get-- the program guides should be half the price they're charging, and they really need a stand alone High Definition/Dual Tuner model.
