1 edit | DirecTV DirecTV has already dropped TIVO service for new customers and implemented their own DVR service. I guess this is my reason to finally drop TIVO and get the DVR. And for you TIVO fanatics, the DVR the same features plus a few extra niceties (yes, including subscription options).

I only wish it had a bigger hdd cause sometimes I get behind. As for people who hack their Tivo's for 200+GB drives....STOP HORDING!! I swear I'll never understand the 'hoard' mentality of "podders" (aka iPod users). (and I bet ALL the Tivo drive hackers are podders.)

| I was one of those in the beta test program with Tivo. They were a little bit of a shock at first, but you can still fast forward through the ads. They just placed a stationary banner over the screen as you FF through a commercial only. I think this is bad for the advertiser as there are several times i stop to watch an ad if it's clever. Now you can't see it.
Also for those of you with Comcast or similiar HDR's, beware. The cable companies are at the mercy of the mighty ad dollar more than Tivo. Cable companies sell their own advertising. Generally a 30 min show, the cable provider will insert 2 commercials into the program that their sales staff sells. It is part of their agreement with the networks. Do you think your cable company will want you to fast forward through their ad spots and therefore reducing their ad rates? |
