My brother gave me a TiVo for Christmas. I read the instructions and gave it back. I just couldn't get comfortable with this company having my name, address, bank account number, phone number, a complete profile on my viewing habits and interaction with my cable company.
My brother kept it and is now getting mail and phone sales solicitations based on the shows he watches. His cable company has also tried to sell him extras based on his viewing habits. With the system he has they have no way of knowing what he watches so they must have got it from TiVo.
I'm sure many people don't care who knows what, but I do. :p
