In short, you can do more with a TiVo, but (in my opinion) it is more annoying/time-consuming to use. Except for the fact that my housemate has a gazillion GB of storage that allows us to record everything and the kitchen sink, I would go back to my DVR in a heartbeat.
Come on out, River. The nice man wants to kidnap you.

Well, I emailed the bloke.

And so, to bed. Thanks for your encouragement, folks!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I almost was going to go with a DVR when I upgraded to HD, but I was able to keep my lifetime plan and see forward to features I really wanted (extensible storage, interoperability with my other computers and my old TiVo) and am quite happy now.
Welcome back to the real world, Cashmere.
Man, dilaudid makes me ITCH.

Oh, yeah. Same here. It helps so much, though, that I deal. But, yeah. Uncomfortable city!

Thrive to spite them
Tivo has more storage, plus there's My Tivo, which you can access online and other search features.
I like my dvr, but I keep running into storage issues, I record a lot of HD programming and it eats up the memory like crazy, especially if I record something but don't plan on watching it right away.
I don't have plans on buying a Tivo because I'm fairly happy with my dvr and I'd rather put my money towards something I don't have (like a laptop or a dishwasher), but I'll put in money for the raffle that helps a good cause and might win me one.

I'd upgrade to HD Tivo if I had an HDTV and could keep my lifetime subscription. (That promotion may still be in effect, I'm not sure.)
DH took D to the doctor this morning and we just found out he has asthma. Welcome to my day.

Oh, yeah. Same here.
And randomly! Some days I'm just fine the morning after. I took Benadryl before going to sleep last night on top of what I got at the ER, and more this morning, and I'm forcing myself to not be entirely inappropriate here at work.
Jessica--poor little D! (okay, just had to stick my hands in my sweater and assuage some itches). Is the coughing still bothering him little?
