One Month Free Service for Tivo HD & S3 Owners

[Scopeman]

Free month service for every S3 or Tivo HD in your house - just call and reference the serious rebooting and video freeze problems.

Even if you personally have not had this issue on your systems, please call and take advatage of their willingness to give the refund.

We will all benefit in the long run if Tivo starts to see a real monetary impact which more closely corrlates the relationship between their errors or poor quality control problems and their revenue stream.

I sympathize with your problem, but calling in if you are not experiencing the problem in order to get free service is dishonest and in the long run not very helpful.

Two ways it's not helpful:
1. Reporting a problem on a box that isn't experiencing the problem results in TiVo looking for problems on boxes that aren't experiencing them. Making them waste time looking at working boxes will just make it take longer for them to find a fix Besides, TiVo can tell if your box is actually rebooting or not by looking at the box's log files.
2. Bankrupting a company isn't a good way to get them to fix a problem.

Finally if everyone requests a refund, TiVo will probably stop issuing them and those that might deserve one will be out of luck.

Yeah right! How about we all stop paying taxes? We all save money so we will all benefit, right?

Get real! Don't encourage TiVo users to steal from fellow TiVo users.

Lying and being dishonest is not going to help solve the problem.

Well, I would certainly hope not, but unfortunately it does seem to be the case. Perhaps we're misinterpreting his intent, but I don't really see how, unless he is suggesting that TiVo is willing to give the rebate if we call up and tell them we aren't experiencing the problem. 'Sort of a paid customer poll. I don't think that's the case, either, though.

Yeah right! How about we all stop paying taxes? We all save money so we will all benefit, right?
Well, that's a different matter. I mean TiVo, Inc. actually does something useful with our money. I haven't been able to detect anything useful being done by congress with our money. :p

OK, perhaps the analogy doesn't hold up in all cases...

Perhaps he's suggesting that we all call to convince TiVo to give him more rebates because of the problems he is experiencing? :D

My Tivo HD works perfectly...

I've only had the freezing problem once and a reboot fixed it. How do I know your problems aren't user error?

Why would I try to put Tivo out of businesss when my unit works great?

I really hope they ask for service numbers when people report this. When they look at the logs and discover that they're attempting to defraud TiVo, I hope they're banished for life.

We all lose if TiVo loses money paying fraudulent claims.

umm, since none of mine and many other TiVo DVRs are experiencing a reboot issue then how will this outright unethical lie more closely correlates to the errors. You should frankly be ashamed for making such a thread and suggestion simply because you are angry.:down:

[DaveSt]

If I were a moderator here I'd remove this thread. But hey, that's just me. *shrug*

[DCIFRTHS]

I could understand if you wanted people to call and complain IF they were having the problem you are experiencing. That would be an appropriate course of action.

Unfortunately, what you are suggesting is just plain wrong. You should be ashamed of yourself.

[aimeedmiked]

Let's not pile on Scopeman. I think his anger is just a little mis-guided. I think he wants a quick resolution to his problem. Then again I could be 100% wrong and he wants everyone to get free stuff.

I actually a problem with my Tivo. I have to keep the coaxial cable out in order to use my Tivo. Do you know what they are doing for Lifetime subscriptions owners?

Probably the worse advice I've seen on the boards, and I've been here a fairly long time.

Not to mention making the problem harder for Tivo to solve, because now there may be systems in the 'error pool' that don't have the problem.
