Tivo spent years making their brand friendly to consumers, and going out of the way to help them. I’ve spent time and money on their products. I didn’t pay to get ads when I pause, and, I’m going to complain about it. Since you have other things to worry about, why don’t you post about them instead?

So…. you getting upset about an ad that will appear when you pause your TV? I am glad I have better things in my life to worry about.

Dish DVR beats the ever-loving crap out of every cable DVR (& Tivo) I’ve ever had. In the end, the ads will be everywhere. The revenue stream will be too hard to resist.

I’ve got 3 words for them. “Cable company DVR.” All I’m saying.

Dirty bastards. If my life wasn’t full of enough advertising already.

@Howard, I’m sure they’ll point to something in your contract that says they can bend you over whenever they want.

First time that happens in my house I’m giving them a call. This is not what I signed up for 5+ years ago when I got Tivo.
