Unfortunately, when it came time to play it back, neither my son nor I
could find a "play" button in any of the menus.

The buttons you want should be on the remote. There should be a
'List' button to see what has been recorded, and a '|' (that's an
arrowhead) button to play the selected recording.

When you pushed the record button did it come up with any kind of menu
or indication that it was actually recording? I have 2 Motorola cable
boxs. 1 has a DVR built in and the other does not but the remotes are
the same and the boxes look the same from the outside. While I swear by
my Tivo on my standard definition TV upstairs, I went with the cable
company DVR downstairs because I wanted HD and at the time Tivo had not
come out with their HD DVR. While I still prefer the TIVO, the cable
company box works well enough and bottom line is it's cheaper then the
Tivo. You should be able to swap out your standard cable box for one
with a DVR for another 10.00 per month
