My
Tivo box is also my satelitte receiver. It's the only thing I have to have to
record/pause/or watch satelitte and with my satelitte provider, they dont allow
you to rent the receivers, you can only buy them straight
out.
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.

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.
