That's with standard cable. The 5000 series is known for taking too long to change chanels, but as I said it doesn't really matter to me.

I used a tivo once before I bought my replay. Not long enough to really catch the tivo addiction, and when I found a used showstopper for $125, it was an easy choice. Now of course, things have spiraled out of control, and I've had the orginal showstopper stolen, replaced with with ReplayTV 2020(same machine, replay instead of panasonic), and replaced the 2020 with the 5040.

The third party app to remove comericals just came out. At the moment, it's just a command line utility that chops out anything comercial advance said was a comercial. CA is known for being great but not perfect, so what would be nice is a program that played the 10 secconds surounding a transition and let you decide and/or move the boundries.
