TiVo vs. MCE vs. Cable Box — by Ed Bott

You just knew someone had to have a Tivo and a Windows Media Center box and a cable-company PVR now didn’t ya? Actually, I wouldn’t think anyone would have three PVRs, but whatever. Ed Bott’s the man.
Ed reviews all there PVRs in a head-to-head match up based on a recent NYT review of the Tivo (the article is behind their firewall now, so why link to it?).
Ed gives a slight advantage to WMC with the cable box a distant third. It should be noted that Ed’s Tivo is a series one, but even a series two probably won’t have changed the results. Ed also notes that Microsoft has been steadily making WMC better and better over the years, so watch out Tivo (and others).
P.S. Too bad that Ed didn’t have a MythTV setup to run in his review.
P.S.S. With WMC 2005, you can actually buy the OS separately instead of having to purchase a complete system which was the case with previous WMC versions.
