New Concast Guide and DVR Features

I just found this page on Comcast's website announcing a bunch of new/upcoming features to the Cable Guide Software.  Seems like Comcast is giving the the standard guide software some similar features to the Comcast TIVO Guide software.  Some of the highlights are:

• Watch In HD - The Watch In HD button allows you to instantly watch programs in HD with a click of your remote.
• On Demand - Skip Ahead / Skip Back - Allows you to skip ahead or back 5 minutes by using the page up and page down buttons on the remote.
• Interactive TV - Shop by remote or request coupons from advertisers using your remote
• Caller ID - See who is calling on your TV,  This feature is not really new, it became available in my area about 4 months ago.
• myDVR Manager - Schedule DVR recordings online.  This has been available on the Comcast TIVO software for quite a while.  Looks to be the same software being used on the standard Guide.
• DVR Search and Record - Enter a search term and the DVR will aoutomatically search and record programs related to your search.
• DVR History - The DVR will remember shows you have already recorded and will not record them again.
• DVR Folders - Categorized programs in folders
• DVR Clean up - Allows you to delete more than one DVR Program at once.

Many on the new DVR features are features that have been always been available on the Comcast TIVO DVR,  But you pay an extra couple dollars a month for the TIVO DVR.  One of the reasons I pay a little more for the TIVO DVR is because I was always having lag problems with my standard DVR.  With these new features it may not make sense to play the extra money for the TIVO DVR (as long as the lag issues are gone).  Will be interesting to see these features in action.
