If you’re a long-time reader here, you may know that I have a SA8300HD PVR, courtesy of my cable company. I rent it. That’s the strategy I use to prevent myself from being obsoleted too fast. I’m glad I decided to rent instead of buy, actually, because this is my third PVR from Rogers. My first was an SD PVR, then second was the SA8000HD, and now I”m on my SA8300HD. But everyone know that the SA boxes have quirks. The most annoying of which is that it sometimes conveniently forgets to record something you’ve set to record.

So I’ve been waiting for the day that Rogers would provide me with a decent PVR. Alak and alas, that is not meant for my near future. But if I were a Comcast subscriber, I’d be dancing a jig of joy right now, because Comcast is testing the use of a TiVo HD PVR. They’ll start beta-testing the unit soon.

Is anybody at Rogers reading this? We want TiVo!!! Or at least please fix the bugs with the SA units. But really, I’d prefer a TiVo. Really.
