They say "What ever the cable company gave me". Not trying to be a condescending jerk but, sorry dude it's not the same thing. When people at work tell me that they have TiVo, I ask what model.

My mother in-law has the Dish DVR and every time I try to use it I have to ask her how to do something. The learning curve is steeper then the TiVo learning curve.
