Actually, the latest versions of TiVo and it's clones now are
starting to display popup advertisements when the user attempts to
fastforward through the commercials.

And Tivo, as a company is now (or soon to be) roadkill. First, the
cable set top box manufacturers are duplicating their boxes' functions.

And anybody but the brain dead will think twice or three times to buying
a box that requires a subscription, a phone line, and will snitch on
you about every time you did a rewind to get another look at a good
cleavage shot. And now this. They really needed to figure out who
their customers are.

The primary reasons I never got a TiVo.

Truth is: Most people don't care about the cost, the privacy
invasion, or even the use of the phone.

They care about features, and convenience. Which goes a long way to
explaining why TiVo boxes are being replaced with Cable boxes with TiVo
features. Many of which are actually TiVo boxes in cable clothing.

I have a cable "equivalent" at my weekned place. It is hateful in every
aspect (Time Warner) from the awful software to the remote control to the
highly inaccurate listings of upcoming progframs. I am swiutching to Direct
TV and a TIVO sometime this year when I can be there on a weekday to meet
the installer. A friend who moved to an apartment where he could not get
Direct TV had to use cable for a year. He said one of the main reasons for
mving was the awful cable implementation of its TiVo rip-off.
