Comcast will have a true Tivo early next year.

You're absolutely certain of that? Because I'm of the mind that Comcast will look after it's interests first and foremost and if they consider any feature TiVo submits as dicey, it will be shot down. Time will tell.

Nice, except that's the standalone box and not the fabled Comcast Tivo.

Yup. And while a lot of people are whooping it up over the unit, understandable, there's still some unknowns about the unit as far as pricing for service and box, exactly what service will be tied to it. Like I said I can understand that people are starved for it, but I'd like to know more before I consider investing.

you really wouldn't need the Comcast box anymore

I was under the impression that the box would be manufactured by Comcast's supplier, but running whatever version of TiVo software they condone.
