So I'm looking for a nice non-renting solution for a DVR. I saw the Moxi as a nice solution for HD DVR that takes cable cards, and know that now open cablecards are being issued by cable companies and the like.

Does anyone know about the Moxi?

A buddy of mine works as a service tech for the local cable company and has told me that Moxi boxes are garbage. They have PILES of them in the storage yard at their service location that they have had to take back from customers due to various faults.

 

Why not go for a Tivo HD? I absolutely love mine.

 

avsforums bro. this is an s2000 forum.

 

That's the other alternative - TiVo is tried and true, but I was wondering if anyone had any in depth knowledge about the Moxi box.

 

how much IS a tivo?

 

i had a moxi box rented from our cable company thing sucked it would always freeze up, and sometimes it wouldn't record what i wanted it to

 

I think with lifetime subscription the high end one is $600.

 

everyone i know who has a tivo swears its the best thing in the entire world...
