My PVR-150 records at the default 2.1GB/hr. My TiVo
captures the MPEG-2 stream broadcast by the satellite. <br>
<br>
Once upon a time, I had a standalone TiVo with Comcast
cable. It was one (puts pinky to mouth) MILLION times better than
having side by side TVs to watch concurrent baseball games. <br>
<br>
I'd take my Myth box over my SA TiVo anyday. I'd say the picture
quality difference between those 2 was negligible, but the Myth box has
never been hooked up to anything other than a computer monitor. The
Tivo was always hooked up to a TV (except for 4.25 glorious snowy hours
that made Adam Vinatieri and "The Tuck Rule" household names, when it
was hooked up to a DLP front projector).<br>
<br>
All that said, DirecTiVo PQ = DirecTV PQ > (IMnsHO) Comcast PQ > Comcast captured by PVR PQ. <br>
