[Clocker]

This new basic service option that has no monthly fee just might get me going on TIVO....what do you guys think of it?

It's weird, I've never heard anybody complain about anything TiVo other than it's not free.

I can't justify $38/month for standard cable service but $300 or $13 a month for a TV guide... wow.

... that was me rolling my eyes, in case you missed it.

Here, let me do it again.

Free TiVo is certainly a step in the right direction. Being able to pause any home entertainment, or random-access within content is absolutely killer, and one of my main objections to traditional television service.

i think the complete lack of season passes is a bad idea - they should allow 1 or 2 of them. this is the inspiration to pay for it.

i own a tivo series2 80hr (lifetime service) and i can't imagine watching tv without it
