Well maybe in terms of how many people use a cable DVR, yes. However, that doesn't mean that it is a better product. The reason that Tivo has more features than a cable DVR is because TIVO has a large number of patents covering the features and the hardware in its DVR. So Cable companies cannot offer those features unless they buy a license from TIVO.

So until Cable comanies do that you will have to wait quite a bit of time before the 2 products have the same features.
