Re: Ditch the contract and you may have a deal
Answer this long age old question.
Why is it you shell out the hundreds of dollars for a "DVR" and when you no longer pay their fee, you have what amounts to a paper weight?
Why can't you still use the box to time shift live TV? Why can't you set manual recordings? Why can't you view your saved programs and why can't you even watch regular TV any more?
We pay subscription fees to cable and satellite.. NOT TV. Tivo has built itself as a service, not hardware.
Where are the people crying out about this rip-off? Because that's what it is.
I purchased hardware that should not require a guide to work, technically. So what say you now?
(and Tivo TV Guide listings should not cost upwards of $19.99 a month... the listing is a relatively small download that is also ad supported. Everyone else charges about $4.95 a month for listings - even cable. Windows MediaCenter has been giving away the guide data for free all along and others can use Zap-2-it for guide data.)
