RE: [Sndbox] Has Oprah Lost Her Bounce?

Except as far as I know the only rental program is through a cable service that offers it.  That doesn't do you much good if you don't subscribe to cable.  Neither satellite provider offers a rental type option, and you can use a standalone Tivo unit with an ariel antenna.  I hope I never have to go back to cable.    Charles Mims http://www.the-sandbox.org     From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Jen -- Sent: Monday, October 06, 2003 3:50 PM To: The Sandbox Discussion List Subject: Re: [Sndbox] Has Oprah Lost Her Bounce? 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.   ----- Original Message ----- From: Charles To: 'The Sandbox Discussion List' Sent: Monday, October 06, 2003 4:24 AM Subject: RE: [Sndbox] Has Oprah Lost Her Bounce? 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.   Charles Mims http://www.the-sandbox.org     From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Angela Sent: Monday, October 06, 2003 7:13 AM To: The Sandbox Discussion List Subject: RE: [Sndbox] Has Oprah Lost Her Bounce?
