If you read this exact forum for more then a week, you would know Comcast and Seachange want to add ppv on Tivos. Oh did you know that in the 80's you could get a set at the store and it didnt need a box!!!! Wait its seems technology is de-evoluting.

I never implied Comcast makes anything. But since they are the only one authorized to sell them, they are there own retailer. -- They Live... We Sleep...
