TiVO died when cable companies offered DVR in their boxes I'd never spend more money getting this just to watch more stuff on it....Just my .02 it seems all these rental companies are just screwing over everyone these days.

I would buy a Tivo if it would work for HD channels without a cable card but it doesn't make sense for me to spend all the money on a Tivo HD, plus a subscription fee plus $5.00/month for a cable card.

Give'em a break. They're just trying to be creative, just like Sony.
