I have ReplayTVs and before that Showstoppers and just bought a Series 3 TiVo in order to escape the SA8300HD monstrosity that Comcast (nee Adelphia) foisted on me. I hooked the TiVo up to an indoor antenna and tried to watch some news shows the first day (hadn't made any recordings yet) and I couldn't believe how frustrating it was to watch live TV. I was anxioyus to try out the TiVo, but after a half hour I just scheduled a few shows and went back to the RTV until I had some recorded content to watch. I think I could have lived with the SA if it had 30 second skip, but dealing with the ff and reverse to wade through the commercial drivel was just too much.
