Re: the down low on TIVO?

Yes the TIVO requires either $10 a month or $200 for life time. I got a $100 rebate so my lifetime cost $100.You can think of it as a subscription to TV Guide because that's what you really get- info on every program on every cable or satellite system you specify.

The Panasonic Replay unit (no longer made) cost a lot more but had no subscription. Ultimate TV (Microsoft's version) also requires a subscription.

If you don't subscribe you can still use TIVO but you have to perform everything manually just like the old VCR.
