both offer epg and live tv pausing (I think) as long as u have the recorder box. to be honest cablecom seems like the better offer, especialy with the combo deals going at the moment, have a look at some of my posts on this thread for price comparison.

the only things with cablecom that concerns me are 1) the STB with recorder is apparently very buggy see thread here and 2) apparently the customer service is not so crash hot. It was very good with swisscom.
