My
Tivo box is also my satelitte receiver. It's the only thing I have to have
to record/pause/or watch satelitte and with my satelitte provider, they dont
allow you to rent the receivers, you can only buy them straight
out.
Ahhh, I wasnt aware of that.
And I do understand. I just, I dont know, Its
basicly not much worth it if you only have the box and not the
service, so in my opinion its just as easy to basicly just rent a box. You
dont have to worry about buying a new one to get more updated features,
and your not stuck with an extra box/reciever if for some reason you stop
paying for the monthly service.

One thing I think didn't get across in this
thread on Tivo was that Tivo doesn't sell any hardware. The DVR
units are made by other companies like Sony, Philips, etc. Tivo
sells *ONLY* programming so if they were to allow you to record for free
(which uses the daily guide to allow the recording) they would never
make any money.
It's like telephone service. You can go
out and buy a super duper techno model telephone that costs $300 and
unless you buy the telephone service from the Telco all you have is a
$300 paperweight.
