Digeo may have killed its plans to release two set top boxes direct to consumers earlier this year, but that doesn't mean you won't find a new Digeo box running the company's Moxi software in your living room anytime soon. The company is still developing new boxes for cable television operator

Light Reading uncovered a few (very few) details about a new CableCard-enabled high definition personal video recorder from Digeo. CableLabs sent out a press release highlighting some of the technology that will be on display at next month's Cable Show, and one of the devices is the Moxi HD DVR 3012.

The set top box will use Digeo's Moxi software and will be able to record up to two programs at once. But that's about all we know about it at the moment.

There's good news and bad news on the Comcast TiVo front. The good news, as you may have heard, is that Comcast is finally letting users sign up to receive TiVo software for $3/month over the cost of the cable company's regular PVR unit. The bad news is that while you'll get some of the same features a regular TiVo unit sports, you don't get everything.

There's no TiVoToGo, no Amazon Unbox, and no Real Rhapsody. And it's not like any of the features are likely to come in the near future. That's because Comcast's Motorola set-top-boxes don't have a way to connect to the internet or your home network. Therefore, there's no easy way to move videos from your set top box to a PC for archiving, and there's no way to download or stream internet content. There's also no eSATA support for adding an external hard drive.

On the other hand, since Comcast offers TiVo service on top of its existing platform, you do get a few things with a Comcast TiVo that are unavailable on standalone TiVo boxes. For example, you can watch video on demand programs. And, well, that might be about it. Well, that and you don't have to pay $250+ up front to get a set top box.
