I have a Motorola DCT-6412 HD DVR from Comcast and it is the worst gadget I own. You really only expect a few basic things from a DVR, only one of which is a must: record the shows I want.

It doesn’t do that, and I pay a small fortune every month for the privilege of wondering whether or not it has recorded the shows I’ve asked it to record.

Is it too much to ask to be even remotely as good as TiVo?
