I'm guessing (and I'll know in about a month) if a Sony S1 which looses it's subscription is useful. I'm hoping so of course. It could be a matter that since mine is already set up, it will continue to function better than the one you're using, that is the channels are set up, hopefully I don't loose that, though I know the program guide will disappear and I'll have to simply use the time and channel to record stuff.
I wish there was a function like most VCR's had for "OTR", that is, One Touch Recording, where you hit the record button, and it shows you a timer, typically 15 min increments, and you keep pressing it until you get enough time to cover what you want to record. My VCR maxed out at 4 hours, then just went to "record until it runs out of tape" mode. I really don't miss the VCR days.
