If things had gone well the majority of Comcast subscribers should be seeing the TiVo software installed in their PVRs by now. Unfortunately this is not the case and it could even be over another year before TiVo is fully rolled out in Comcast PVRs.Comcast first announced it would be using TiVo's software back in March 2005 and expected the majority of Comcast markets to be fitted with TiVo by mid-to-late 2006. However, only this month has Comcast began testing TiVo software on Motorola boxes with a handful of Comcast employees.
Comcast won't actually begin its first actual market trial until spring of next year and refused to comment on whether the TiVo service would be available to most Comcast subscribers by the end of next year.
Looks like Comcast users have some more waiting to do.
1. I have a Motorola Mark 2 and I am wondering if it is worth the trouble to get Comcast to swap me out a Mark 3. Is there another newer version comming out anytime soon ? Is the Mark 3 much better than the Mark 2 ? I recently bought a 1080P tv with HDMI so I just wondered about the HDMI output of the Mark 3.
Also what boxes will the Tivo software run on ? Just Mark 3 ? Or is there a newer Motorola box comming soon ?
Thoughts ????
