Re: Ditch the contract and you may have a deal

Yeah but they mask the spam by calling it an "Important System Message" which until then were reserved for specific TiVo service related matters like billing, line up changes, service update messages etc. You don't know it's them selling you a Sheryl Crow CD until you've selected it. You also can't remove the system notification without selecting then deleting it. In any event trying to sell me something isn't an Important System Message.

For $17/mo + $300 my point is I shouldn't have to put of with a nuisance value of 0.1.

Some people love their TiVo's so much they'll excuse anything TiVo does. $17+HW+banners+spam is not worth it IMO.
