Major Nelson has also unplugged his Tivo. I unplugged mine last week and couldn’t be happier with the product, Scoble did the same last week on my advice. Harry Pierson gets his installed today.
Major Nelson gives some of the reasons why I am so happy to have my Tivo gone…
Your IR blasters often mis-fired and caused you to recorded “Oprah” when I wanted to record a James Bond movie.
You said you were recording “Goldfinger” but instead I got an hour of screaming and squealing housewives.
Your monthly cost has increased twice since we started together, that I can take…but here is the final straw: I find out you are going to start showing me ads when I fast forward? Sorry my friend, that’s not what I signed up for.
I am also very happy with the new Comcast PVR that’s running Microsoft software. I loved my Tivos but its time for a change. Incidentally, I have two 60 hour Series II standalone Tivos for sale, send me an email if you are interested. My contact information is in the lower right of this weblog.|
