It's much more easier to use. Comcast in my area were charging me $15 to rent the DVR box from them, and $15 for their DVR service. I went with TiVo mainly because I heard it was much easier on my pockets. I paid the $400 lifetime membership and now am only paying Comcast $2 a month for the CableCard rental. A BIG FU to Comcast for trying to overcharge me for their crappy service!! I had just switched from the Comcast DVR to a TiVo HD DVR and will NEVER go back to using a Comcast DVR.

There was a software update a few months ago that slightly improved things, but overall it's one of the worst designed UIs I've ever experienced. But, as you said, the Motorola hardware is far superior. I made the same switch (from the standard-def TiVo to Comcast) a few years ago. Desperately hoping for Comcast to finally unveil the Tivo interface in the Philly area.
