Had TiVo made the boxes, things would be a whole lot different.
Spot on!

My old silver original Tivo box (now sadly long gone) was LIGHTNING fast, press a button, instant response, single 50 mhz processor...

...have cancelled Tivo and TV and gone to Humax Freeview play...

No they won't.

Customer since 2000 when they launched <gasp> 512k broadband.

Last price rise was one too many. Rang retention's, cancelled phone and Tivo.

They asked why, I told them 3 price rises in 12 months.

No arguing, no "won't you stay".

Now saving £19/month.
