Cable company offers a TiVo alternative -- but can this device compete?

If you can't stand to leave home knowing you might miss an episode of
Lost or 24, you need a digital video recorder. Gone are the days of
the VCR -- today's DVRs let you schedule recordings of your favorite
shows and replay them at your convenience. And you don't have to
shell out big bucks to get one.

Several big-name cable companies, including Comcast, are offering DVRs
to subscribers for a monthly fee. So how do these "rental" DVRs stack
up to ReplayTV and TiVo? I put Comcast's DVR to the test and found
that, while the price may be right, the device is certainly not
perfect.
