Title: Bait and switch
Review: If you don't know what TiVo is, you may be surprised to learn that it is a second rate monthly subscription that won't work one quarter as well as Windows Media Center. You pay $200-300 for the DVR. Then -- and this is not stated on the box or other sales materials -- you have to pay $13 a month to activate it. Otherwise it is a useless piece of junk. (Actually, even with the service, it is pretty useless.) TiVo may have been a breakthrough product in its day -- which is how I came to ask for one for my b-day. But it has been overtaken by far more useful and less costly technologies. Buyer beware.
