No, the Comcast HD-DVR is crap. My sister has one and the storage space is severely lacking. I don't recall off hand how many hours it can store, but it's not much more than 10, if that. Also, they seem to have a serious bug in them. If the DVR is powered off and it is scheduled to record a show it will actually begin the recording, but not display to the user that it is powered on and working. If you then hit the power button while it is recording it will turn on and display video so you can watch TV on the second tuner. However, the second tuner is MUTED. I have yet to find a way to get it to unmute other than turning off the DVR (which kills whatever recording was in progress) and then turning it back on. Also, it clearly has two tuners since you can record and watch at the same time, but I also haven't yet been able to get it to record two shows at once. If there's two tuners in there I see no reason why it shouldn't be able to record two shows if I'm not using either of the tuners to watch TV.
