The Comcast DVR with TiVo Almost Here - Finally!

It's been a couple of years since TiVo and Comcast announced their joint TiVo DVR for Comcast. It now looks like the TiVo DVR is almost here:

TiVo Inc. said on Monday it hopes to start testing its first integrated digital video recorder service with Comcast Corp. , the leading U.S. cable operator, this spring, two years after they reached an agreement to develop the service.

Comcast actually showed off the technology at this weeks CES:

The two companies demonstrated the service for the first time at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas on Monday. They said the new service will allow subscribers to use TiVo's features with Comcast's video-on-demand and high-definition service.

Klugman said TiVo's search features will make it easier for consumers to find all types of programming, including Comcast's 8,000 hours of video-on-demand service, in a more compelling way than hunting through menu pages.

Almost makes me wish I was a Comcast customer. Well, maybe this will spawn some more TiVo / Cable Company agreements. What do you think?

what goods a 108in. screen if you have to worry about the NFL sending lawyers to your house because it is twice their allowed 55in. screen size. They might want to tell you that you cant have your son come over and watch football with you and your buddies because you are violating their copyright law. Is there a NFL-Chip installed (hahaha)
