Re: Stupid TiVo said by swintec:Satellite "forces" you to use a box as well...no complaints about them doing that? Dish Network shouldn't be allowed to do it. They use open standards for everything. A standard DVB-S receiver would have no problem tuning their stuff if they'd let you use one with one of their access cards.
DirecTV, on the other hand, uses a system that was designed before such a standard existed. At least they have a decent excuse.
We just have a bunch of monopolizing bastards running the media show in this country, and they've gotten it in their heads that forcing you to use (and pay for) their box does something for customer loyalty.
The only loyalty I have is TiVo. Without it, TV is nearly unbearable. |
