Re: Wow

My TiVo is FULL of crap like this
Sweet FFD banner ad
Sweet HBO DRM, TiVo HBO's Way

I've had TiVo's since the first Christmas they were out and the ads are getting worse and worse. My SA Series 2 is full of ads. Ads on virtually every page of the UI, lame pulsating thumb banner ads during programming when I'm trying to watch a movie trailer, even ads now when I go to delete items I've watched. Showcases, which used to be about new programs is now just full of Crazyfox and American Express bullcrap. This is in addition to it's weekly recording to lame infomercials, that you can't turn off without go in an canceling the recording manually every week. And those infomercials then get a prominent location on the GUI's home screen.

Lexus, Norton, Crazy Fox, Sony Blu-Ray, AmEx, tons of ads. You don't have Showcases? You've never seen a thumbs up banner during programming? You've never seen an ad on the deletion screen? The only TiVo I had that didn't were my 2 HD-TiVos.

Hell I've even gotten Buy Sheryl Crow CD System Message spam (eg You have an Important System Message). It's ridiculous, especially for $13-$20 a month (depending on TiVo's pricing scheme that month).

And to ADd insult to injury, we're all blessed with awesome TiVo DRM to insure that TiVo is anything BUT TV our way. It is certainly intrusive.
