Who here has Cablevision? Do they offer HD Tivo/DVR service? How is it - any complaints???

I've also had TimeWarner with DVR sans HD. I find the cablevision is basically exactly the same. I'm not sure what you want to know about, but basically I like the system on the whole, it works well. My complaints? Well, the guide can be kind of slow sometimes to load, and I've had plenty of instances where it's just frozen and I'd have to unplug the unit to restart, but it's not a daily occurrence or anything. No discovery health channel, which SUCKS, but other than that I think it's decent.

I need to do the research for him apparently.

I have both TiVo service as well as Cablevisions DVR (non HD)and the TiVo service is far better.

I am picking up an HD DVR box tomorrow for a new HDTV and I am hoping it utilizes the TiVo format of Season Passes and other search functions that the regular DVR doesn't have..

The cablevision DVR bow was too slow for me....I hated it. So I opted for a regular box to watch my HD shows with (Sopranos, Etc) and watch regular cable most of the time through my Tivo box.

it's DVR, not TiVO, works well enough for me

I might not of stated my question clearly above...

I understand that the new Cable HD DVR's are real TiVo boxes...at least they have the TiVo logo on them.

I hate the scheduling GUI on the regular cable DVR and love the TiVo functions...so I am trying to determine if the new cable boxes have the TiVo GUI..

Also, I have only one HDMI input on my TV (Sony XBR 40" LCD) and none on my Denon receiver...so if I want to watch a broadcast from the HD TiVo I need to run a separate set of audio outputs from the cable box to my receiver...sounds right no??
