Telly...a Tivo alternative?

Have you tried Telly, from Interact-TV?

Looks like it might be very similar to Tivo,
but without collection of all your personal
viewing habits.

If thats your only sore point you may as well get a Tivo. You can opt
out anytime you like.

Yeah. That and the fact TiVo doesn't collect 'personal' viewing habits at
all, and never has.

Never say never. They supposedly collected personal habits under the
Hotline to Hollywood program, but the user did have to specifically
opt-in for it.

how was tivo able to state that the most rewound and replayed program ever
was the janet jackson superbowl thing? they claim to have "measured" that
statistic:

TiVo said that particular halftime stunt was the most replayed moment not
only of the Super Bowl but of all TV moments that the young company has ever
measured.

TiVo said it used its technology to measure audience behavior among 20,000
users during the Super Bowl. The exercise revealed a 180 percent spike in
viewership at the time of the -- as Timberlake refers to it -- "wardrobe
malfunction."
