skuv @rr.com	So... Unless EVERY channel is on SDV, the TiVo is far from useless. Why such sensationalism? And TiVo isn't excepted from all the blame, since they actively pushed their product, knowing that 2-way communication would be necessary at some point. TiVo even made an updated TiVo HD model after the Series 3, knowing full well that SDV already existed. But I do agree with the fine because people lost some channels without much notice. But their TiVos certainly aren't useless. Hopefully the 2-way adapter will be available by the time TWC has deployed SDV in more areas and added more HD channels because of it.
