in my home i have both tivo and the scientific atlanta hd dvr.
the tivo is hands down the best user interface. tivo has struggled to be financially viable as the cable and satelite companies have made it cheaper to use their DVR's. the hd tivos have come down a ton in cost but require cable card (although i have not looked at if that has changed lately)
i hope tivo survives. thier GUI rules supreme.
i have hacked my tivo to have multiple hard drives for increased storage. the cable dvr is able to add an external eSATA HDD if you are handy with researching what will work depending on what operating system your cable provider uses....or satellite.
i also plan on using an apple tv in my coach. it allows me to stream video from my laptop wirelessly and watch it in HD on my tv's
