While digging around online, I found a page on Moxi’s website<\/a> comparing the two companies’ HD DVRs. These are basically the only units around that use CableCARDs, so it’s interesting to see how the underdog tries to compare itself to TiVo.<\/p>\n

I just found this today, so it may be that this is dated, but here’s a screenshot of the comparison:<\/p>\n

Sure, I’m a big TiVo fan, so I’m biased, but I’ll ask the obvious question: what unit costs $699 and has 32 HD and 120 SD hours of capacity? I’m guessing they’re taking the TiVo HD<\/a> ($299) and adding in lifetime service ($399 for new subscribers, $299 for existing) to get $699. So, for the record, that should be 20 HD hours and 180 SD hours. The TiVo Series3 was 32 HD hours, but not 120 SD hours. So I can’t figure out where that figure ever came from.<\/p>\n

OK, so then multi-room DVR sharing? They both have it, but the extra Moxi boxes will cost $799 while extra TiVo boxes with lifetime will now cost $598, since you save $100 on lifetime for each extra box. That’s $200 less than Moxi.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Yes, Moxi has HD menus (although those are coming to TiVo) and arcade games (which you can do to some extent on TiVos) and Flickr. But TiVo has:<\/p>\n
