EngadgetHD is reporting that Comcast TiVo may be coming to the Portland Oregon area sometime in the near future. According to EngadgetHD, one of their readers was told by two different Comcast installers that the Comcast TiVo DVR solution would be available in the Portland area sometime soon. Currently, Comcast TiVo DVRs are only available in the New England area.
Can anybody in the Portland Oregon area confirm this rumor?
Thanks for sending this in Dave. Sorry I didn’t post it earlier but, it sucks to be sick….
EngadgetHD has published forty six screenshots of the Comcast TiVo. In my opinion, the Comcast TiVo interface looks great! In fact, in some cases I like it better than how the interface looks on a “regular” TiVo DVR. I especially like how the software displays a small thumbnail of the station that you are currently watching while in the guide view. This is one feature that I wish my Series 3 had…
CrunchGear.com has published a video of the Comcast TiVo interface which “officially” launched in the Boston area yesterday. Unfortunately, CurnchGear doesn’t provide an “embed” option so you are going to have to head on of to their site if you want to watch the video…

Bijan of bijansabet.com has published a mini review of his newly arrived Comcast TiVo DVR. According to the post, Bijan has only been using the DVR for a couple of days now however, thus far he is extremely happy with how it works.
I heard from a few other friends to expect some bugs. But right now I’m quite happy.
Feels good to be home again with TiVo.
Check out Bijan’s post if you are interested in getting a Comcast TiVo DVR….
According to TVPredictions, TiVo’s CEO (Tom Rogers) has said that Comcast plans to rollout the TiVo Comcast DVR service in a “methodical” fashion.
TiVO CEO Tom Rogers today told investors at a Citigroup sponsored conference that Comcast’s plan is to be “methodical.”
…………………He added that Comcast plans to test market various packages before rolling out the service nationally.
While this obviously isn’t good news for anybody who would like to get their hands on a Comcast TiVo DVR, I completely understand why Comcast and TiVo are taking their time with the rollout. In my opinion, it’s better that they take it slow and get things right as opposed to rolling out the service throughout the entire country and there being problems.
What do you think?
Steve Garfield has published yet another video of his new DVR. Check it out if you’re interested in a Comcast TiVo DVR.
Steve Garfield keeps on providing excellent coverage of his Comcast TiVo DVR. Here’s a video that he recently posted.
Steve Garfield has posted several new pictures of his Comcast TiVo DVR that he received yesterday.
Based on what I’ve seen from Steve, the Comcast TiVo DVR appears to be a big hit. I especially like how it allows you to access VOD (video on demand) content directly from within the TiVo interface. That’s something I wish my Series 3 could do….

Steve Garfield has published a great post along with several pictures detailing his experience with getting Comcast to install a Comcast/TiVo in his home. According to Steve, he was the first individual to receive a Comcast TiVo in the Boston area! The experience appears to have been a little rough however, Steve seems to be happy with his “new” DVR now that he has it installed.
Anybody else have a Comcast/TiVo experience that they would like to share?
