    With renting the device from the cable company, you generally pay less per month (usually around $10) than you do for the TiVo subscription ($13, if paid monthly), not to mention the fact that you're not shelling out an upfront cost for the equipment. This may depend on your carrier--you may pay for service and for rental, which could bring the monthly cost up over the cost of a TiVo subscription. On the other hand, buying the equipment means you own it, and can do as you like with it (TiVos can be hacked). TiVo tends to have more features, as well, like remote scheduling options, netflix/youtube/amazon streaming, recommendations, etc--I'm not sure about Cox's features in particular, as I no longer live in an area served by them, but I'm familiar with a couple of major cable companies' DVR services, and they're pretty much all the same--which is to say, pretty basic, but definitely functional. Most of them have on demand video content.

    For TiVo's comparison (take it with a grain of salt), look here: http://www.tivo.com/whatistivo/compare/compare_tiv...

    Another option well worth considering is making/upgrading/buying a home theatre PC to act as a video recorder. It can be cheap and effective.
