We poor canadians never get to participate in anything. :( No Cnet, no ornament giveaway. It's nice to have TiVo offer Canadian service finally. I have two now and just bought my sister one. I am personally on a crusade to make TiVo big in Canada. I really wanted to check this out ’cause I love to see what new gear is coming out, but it never appeared as an option on my TiVo.

The on-air tech personalities are not especially well-suited to being used as news anchors and the reviews are anything but in-depth. And even if the intended audience is non-techies, the information presented is weak and incomplete. Most likely, this will result in driving people to CNET's web site for more info that might never have ventured there otherwise... By the way, I'd love to be entered in the drawing for a TiVo plushy ornament - would make an excellent gift for my TiVo-crazy wife.
