The TIVO would eliminate another box/monthly charge since I currently pay $15 a month for DVR service from Cox. I think the break even point between the TIVO lifetime and the DVR service is 3 years but since I don't math feel free to prove me wrong

Reviews from the TIVO Premier have been mixed and I know very little about the Roku.

From the TiVo site:

Monthly: $20
Lifetime: $500

Break even: 2 years, one month ($500 / $20 = 25 months)

(Of course, not counting the possible transfer of another lifetime device, which is what we did when we purchased our TiVo Premier XL earlier this year.)
