Anyone use TiVo?

That's funny, I've never gotten any solicitation that seems based on Tivo watching. Or maybe they couldn't figure out anything to sell to someboy who watches Egyptian archaeology documentaries, indie films, Taildaters, standup comedy, and Daria. (Not to mention all the stuff my wife and kids watch.) I get far more junk mail as a result of having bought Philadelphia Orchestra tickets.

For that matter I've gotten damned little phone solicitation of ANY kind whatsoever since the PA "don't call" list was instituted. I'm kind of shocked that it worked.

Anyway DirecTV charges $4.95 for PVR service if you have the DirecTivo. The standard Tivo is $12 per month I believe. You might be able to pause, rewind, and fast-forward the current show without a subscription, but that's it, and you may not even be able to do that.
