Oh nos! TiVo knows that I don't watch live TV ever! And that I skip commercials, oh what will do do!

That and all identifiable information is stripped before TiVo gets it unless you sign up for something else that doesn't strip it.

I hope TiVo does sell this information in order to gain some more $ and then maybe (doubtful) but maybe they lower monthly rates for users!

At least that's my personal feeling on it ;)

The Slashdot editors seem to have the memory of a flea. Luckily many comments are reminding them of that fact.

Here's a better link, since it won't be on the frontpage forever.
