All or Nothing

I bought this machine to replace a VCR that died. I thought this would be easier than using tapes, but I have to say I'm gravely disappointed. Pausing live TV is really cool, and skipping commercials is great! But the unit itself does not seem to be very stable. I've had it for only 24 hours now, and have already had to unplug it twice to reset due to it either locking up, or a loss of some basic functionality that was only restored with a restart. Maybe this was just a fluke - time will tell.
But here's the real kicker; you can't use this thing like a VCR unless you sign up for the TiVo service. I'm really not interested in downloading program guides, advanced searching, season pass recording and all that. I just want to be able to record shows, and watch them later. But the record function is completely disabled unless you sign up for the whole service. So on top of the price of the unit, I have to pay $16 a month just to be able to push the record button! That's ridiculous! Who would do that? The TiVo service is not needed in any way for me to simply record the show I'm currently watching. That would be like buying a DVD player, and being required to pay a monthly fee just to be able to push play. I can understand if your life revolves around television and you want all the bells and whistles the TiVo service offers. But if you just want to record shows once in a while, you're much better off with a $30 VCR. I had no idea this is how these things worked. Guess I should have done some research first. |
