    one really cool advatage R15 has over TiVo-not recognized ever.

    People never seem to point out this R15 fact. It is pretty awesome in my opionion, since you can't do it with D*'s TiVo. With the R15 you can watch a recorded program and still look through the guide. I think that is a great feature. With my TiVo I have always made the mistake of pressing...
