Title: don't buy, service going away
Product review: While the ShowStopper is a great unit, it was announced a couple of weeks ago that the "lifetime" data service is being dropped on 7/31. Surely the seller knows this so is being dishonest listing it. After 7/31 this will be less functional than a VCR. You can set it to record for X hours from now, but you won't be able to schedule recordings.There are folks working on hacks to allow the unit to continue to fully function, but these hacks are quite complicated, especially for a dial-up only model such as this.Do not buy.
