The difference is in the interface. with an EXTERNAL tivo box you have to rely on those little IR things to change the channel on your cable box to record a show and you have to use the tivo box/remote to change your channels or you can screw up a recording. Now... this may not be that big of a deal but the TIVO is terribly slow when it comes to changing the channels, they may have fixed this though. Also... with the Comcast DVR you can record 2 channels, any 2 at the same time, or record one show and watch another. With TIVO you could only do this if you had 2 cable boxes or rely on the antenna for the other which means you can't record ANY 2 shows. Lame... built in DVR just works 100% better IMHO. And unless you've used both you won't know.

I have the series 2 upgraded the hard drive to 160 gig. Don't have an antenna box, so changing the channels slow is not a matter for me. Getting a $799 box for $199 with 1 year free is not bad a deal though.
