John Battelle voices his opinion on the Comcast HD DVR vs TiVo

John Battelle is someone you probably haven’t heard of, unless you’re a geek. He’s known in the search engine community, and he wrote The Search: How Google and Its Rivals Rewrote the Rules of Business and Transformed Our Culture.

Well, it seems he’s been a TiVo user for a while now, but he recently made the jump to HDTV and got Comcast’s HD DVR in the process. His experience produced this blog entry: Rant: The Comcast HD DVR Is Simply, Terribly Awful

I think one of the last lines in the entry sums it up: Tivo HD, here I come. And not a minute too soon. I thought it was a fun rant to read.

Thomas Hawk has some commentary on the entry.

The Comcast TiVo software deployment can’t come soon enough.

How would you improve TiVo?

PVRWire has an interesting post of suggestions to TiVo: TiVo with a Twist: Ways to Enhance the TiVo Experience Check out the comments too, I just left a couple. :-)

I’ve been known to make a few suggestions myself.
