Do you get HBO and Comedy Central now?

If you don't watch a lot of TV, I don't know that either a Tivo or a Comcast DVR will be worth the money. Especially if you have to add HBO and a higher tier of programming to get Comedy Central.

I've had a number of Tivos over the years and love them. Besides the ergonomics, I get the pleasure of knowing that it's what little I can do to express my disdain for cable tv companies.

If you do go the Tivo route, I recommend buying one with a lifetime subscription on eBay. You'll be able to try it out and it will sell for what you paid for it if you ever decided to get rid of it.
