Not at all the same as the program guide is automatically inserted into
the TiVo to be used with Wish Lists and Season passes. For ANYONE who
watches a reasonable amount of TV it saves hours of searching your
Sunday TV Section in the paper.

Exactly, information that is delivered OTA free.

Most TVs bought in the last 5 years or so are capable of getting program
info either over the air or from the capable provider.

Fine but they dont get it two weeks into the future, or stick it into
software for Wish Lists and Season Passes.

What was the point again? Oh yeah, expensive TiVo pricing plans... If
you think it's too expensive for what you're getting, don't get a TiVo -

And if you don't like my opinions, ignore me - problem solved.

OK - PLONK Bob

I was wondering how long it would take you to butt in.

Yeah right, like you ignore anything posted in this newsgroup.

Not likely. And if
the sub price is going to be the same, I'll garauntee there will be an up
front cost for the hardware. I left that at $500, for a total of $969 for
3 years of service. And I bet that's lower than it will actually be. The
cost to make the S3 is going to be a lot more than the S2. It wouldn't
suprise me to see an $800 or more sticker price plus the sub fee. Yeah,
Tivo loves you.:-)

See, this is pretty positive proof that you will try your best to spin thins
to suit your argument.

What this is, is positive proof that I'm not blinded by Tivo faith and
bias like you are. While other people in the group have estimated base
prices of $1K you have said nothing. And I leave it at $500 and you call
me a spin doctor. It's MY best guess. Actually I think it's going to lot
higher but I kept it low just so people like you wouldn't bitch. I can
that was a waste of time and effort now. you can't seriously believe
yourself I hope. No one else does.

Either make changes that match the press release, or
do nothing as the press release doesn't say anything specifically about
the HD unit. To make up your own numbers is dishonest and ridiculous.

You're an idiot if you think this. It's clearly stated as a guess. People
here keep bitching and I'll raise it to what I really think it'll be. $995
base plus sub. Don't like it tough.

Be careful there Doc, don't question, criticize or express an opinion here
that the Tivo Nazis don't like.

They'll get you if you don't watch out. They work in tandem.

No, it's proof poitive that you're pulling number out of your ass. You are
documenting the un-documentable.

Either make changes that match the press release, or
do nothing as the press release doesn't say anything specifically about
the HD unit. To make up your own numbers is dishonest and ridiculous.

And here we go with the name calling. I have yet to call you names, yet you
need to do that as if it was same way to prove a point.

Well, I thought he PLONKed you a bit early, but I do think Jack uses
killfiles so I think he does actually "ignore" things posted in this
group.

It's why I've stopped even trying to correct him, he has no base in
reality. I think it's important to note that no one else has even
*speculated* as to a price or pricing model for the s3, as we have no
idea what they may do.

That's BS and you know it. There's been lots of specualtion. Even in this
group. They're taking surveys on the web about it. How many people do you
think will believe this.

Oh, well I hope he feels better.

I think most here will agree that $20/month is a bit steep. I liked the
idea of giving one month free to hook people, but they still won't want to
get a box that costs $20/month. Of course, the $20 is the worst case with
the best being $13/month. People are currently paying $13/month plus
money down for the box so obviously people will pay $13/month with no
money down. The question becomes, how much over $13/month will people pay
instead of paying money down for the box. TiVo has a number of price
points between $13 and $20 - we'll see how it goes. I was always a fan of
the lifetime so I'm bummed that's going away but I do think few got the
lifetime and TiVo doesn't like it as much since on paper, it doesn't look
like guaranteed money like the subscription fees do.

They'll get you if you don't watch out. They work in tandem.

Contrary to this belief, there isn't a conspiracy here.
