Re: Price why in the world should Tivo feel they need to charge $12.95 a month for a TV Guide, essentially
You can get the guide data for free, the same place that MythTV gets it from. However I know of no way to get the the Tivo to use it. The user forums may have some method to do it, but that's just a SWAG. Additionally, the part that you are really paying for is all the extra data scraping that goes into the guide (actors, genres, "first run only" type features, etc). For me though, the only part that really sucks is that the lifetime service has gotten so expensive. That's the main thing that's keeping me from getting a third Tivo at this point, $400 is just too much compared to what I paid for lifetime subscription for the first two. |
