HDTiVo, Not swallowing any lines (from Real in this case), but I did ask the question on your behalf and that was the answer. I'm sure they could do whatever they want in terms of pricing, incentives, or offering those free trials to get people hooked. This is a starting point. As far as the updates, they mentioned they have more ideas they want to tap into and when I asked about the screensaver, they said they actually have multiple options in the pipeline.

Looks like your trip was well worth it and you had lots of fun. Thanx for taking one for the team and attending Dave. :D Do you think those external drives will be backwards compatable? For T2's? I hope so. Thanx again mate! That hotel is awesome. Looks like your trip was well worth it and you had lots of fun. Thanx for taking one for the team and attending Dave. :D

They thought it would be a good strategy to reach out virally and though they were being "transparent" by providing and requiring the sponsorship video bumper - which PayPerPost didn't make immediately available and require of their people as expected. And TiVo just didn't realize the largely negative perception folks have of PayPerPost.
