Until those devices become fully user programmable I refuse to by one because as long as they are closed black boxes they can be used to limit what we can do with the recorded videos. I also do not think that TiVo should only provide the hardware and not require you to also subscribe to there service, especially since that type of information is easily available from a number of sources. _______________________________________________ Chat mailing list Chat at freenetproject.org http://lists.freenetproject.org/mailman/listinfo/chat
