I HATE the Comcast DVR too!  It sucks and is not user friendly.

Get a Tivo one, either standard or HD, depending on your requirements. All
you need from Comcast is a cable card to allow the tuner to pick up all your
channels. It might even require two cable cards if you want to watch on one
channel, while recording another.

I am in the same boat, I have a standard definition Tivo, and a Comcast HD
DVR and the Tivo prompts are so much easier to use, and the Tivo has many
more features.  Tivo even knows not to record a show that is a repeat.
Comcast will record the same Mojo channel shows I like endlessly.  So each
week I have to go through and delete all the repeats.  

You will have to pay a subscriber fee to Tivo for their programming service,
it is required for it to work.

Howdy -
Finally sprung for the basic digital package for my TV and now I find not 
having a DVR is a PITA.   Naturally renting one from Comcast is a never 
ending thing and we'd like to buy one- but I am having trouble buying one.

Most are sold as Leasing Units - as a package with Tivo or Direct TV.

Any suggestions/explanations why things are like this?  Can I buy a DVR and 
install it in my Comcast system - paying Comcast the req'd fee's of course.

Thanks!
