Totally agree. What is the point of replacing old hardware with old hardware? Before too long VM will want to convert everybody onto TiVo software compatible boxes, why not get some of them out of the way during the course of normal engineer visits??
IIRC, customers could pay to upgrade to an HD box and then it became free. Not sure when they started charging again.
In the end everybody will need to have either a Tivo or a TiVo compatible V Box. I'm sure that customers who refuse to pay for a new box will be upgraded for free, as it would cost more in lost revenue by losing customers.
Does anyone know if both the SD and HD V boxes are TiVo compatible?
