personal disclosure

I just think it should be said, I don't work for Comcast, nor any of its competitors. I'm currently working in higher education. I'm just an ordinary person, who is fed up with shoddy product. Since I have essentially two DVR choices, Comcast or TiVo I had to go with the more cost effective.

I used to have a TiVo, but as Comcast digitized the signal on its various channels the TiVo could no longer record those channels. I wouldn't know it was happening until I suddenly had a recording that was an hour of black screen. Nice.

So it was either fork over the money for a new TiVo and upgrade my service (more and more money) or tell them to eff off and give Comcast a try. Comcast is still cheaper, and I'm not wealthy. But the whole point of this blog being that their DVR sucks? I'm never certain that it was the correct choice, and I certainly wouldn't recommend it to my friends and family.

My advice? Avoid the Comcast DVR like the friggin' plague.

Anyway, I don't work for Comcast, nor do I work for any of its competitors. I never have. Ever. The company I work for, to my knowledge, provides no DVR or television services of any kind.
