Tivo and Comcast =’s Crap

We upgraded the Comcast DVR’s in the apartment a few weeks ago to TiVo and we’ve been having issues ever since. I’ve ran into some green screen issues, and the slow response time has been awful. So yesterday I decided to go to Comcast’s site and use their chat tool to figure out how we could revert back to the Motorola OS, I know I know, but the TiVo OS is awful. Anyways after being told that we needed to replace all four DVR’s I decided to ask the tech some questions:

Many people expect the same features as the commercial Tivo units offer.
