    I'm really not trying to be rude but - as the end is here, do folks see any further point to this forum?

    I should say I've assumed the plug has now been pulled by Tivo. Haven't used the Tivo for a couple of weeks so not sure about that though, but even if I'm wrong it must be soon?

    Anyway, farewell from this longstanding Tivo user. I now use a Foxsat which as I've said in another thread is huge improvement in some respects on Tivo - twin tuners, amazing pic quality etc - but I really will miss Tivo's user-friendliness and lovely interface. The Humax doesn't come close in that respect.

    :(

    Tivo guide data still active and we now have an alternate source, The AltEPG.

    Thus our old Tivo's can live on :)

    And we still have to thrash out just how unethical tivo and VM are and who indeed ordered the, yet unmaterialised, switch off.

    And how much, if any compensation should be paid.

    And whether or not it is due,

    When we have sorted that out we could then start into how many angles(Angels) can dance on the head of a pin.

    UK Tivo is still up and running, the same as ever - so of course there's a point!

    Yes it does. It lets me, here in the states, keep up with how far along TiVo is in the process of screwing you guys and how they're going about it.

    Forewarned is forearmed.
