I just bought a new Bell system, but their PVR's don't have HDTV built in them yet, so I just went with the HDTV receiver instead. Apparently they are coming out with one that has HDTV and a PVR built in shortly. I think StarChoice just released one of those too. (or it will be out this month if it isn't already)
The crap the cable companies come out with is no where near Tivo, i've used both, for instance with Tivo you can go back atleast 30 minutes, on cable the most i could do was like 4 minutes.

I imagine it will get better eventually, but who knows.
