Is there any word on when Comcast will use the TiVo software in their DVRs?

Is there any word on when Comcast will use the TiVo software in their DVRs?Crib Notes from the AVS thread. Best posts- see those from ScanPa.


Motorolla boxes get the Tivo software first. Scientific Atlanta users will get them later
March April 2007 is the date for Moto boxes. (moved from January 2007).
"Late 2007" (think 2008) for SA boxes
If you have an SA box, your local Comcast will likely not be able to give you a Moto box replacement. It has to do with matching of STBs with head end equipment.
You will be able to do VOD and Tivo on the Moto units. (yawn)
The Moto DCT-64xx series units will use Tivo software and are Hidef. Tivo software also will run on DCT34xx units.
