A few reasons. I PAID VERIZON FOR A DVR SERVICE!!!!!

Also, my Tivos are old and not dual tuners so I can only watch what I record. I bought a lifetime service with them so they're staying.

I also run the Tivos from the direct feed, not thru the cable box so that I can watch one thing and Tivo something else. My old service (Comcast) provided a lot of channels w/o the box, like comedy central and the like. FIOS only has broadcast channels unless you use the box so I ordered their DVR.

I do still use the Tivo for anything on broadcast but I was really stoked to be able to record stuff on cable, particularly speedtv.
