No credit Card

Does it have a visa/mastercard logo on it? If not you can get a prepaid credit card.

 

There is no problem with check cards with Visa or Mastercard on them. Just like any other retail store, they'll treat it like a credit card.

 

You can save money by staying with the cable co DVR.
Or have tivo's rates dropped?

 

Works out to be about $8.31/month for Tivo if you prepay 3 years.

Yes, you can buy a TiVo box from any retailer, and then activate the box on tivo.com, and at that time you can choose the service fee option you want... 1, 2 or 3-yr monthly or prepay... as has been noted, the 3-yr prepay is the cheapest, but you can choose the 3-yr monthly plan if you can't afford the prepay.

You'll love TiVo over any crappy cable co. DVR... it's worth it, even if it cost more... it's like getting steak instead of a fast-food burger patty.

 

So while none of the costs have changed, Tivo now costs less money every month than the cable co dvr because the cable co dvr is crappy. Being crappy cost extra money. OK Gotcha.

I find that very hard to believe considering the number of months you spent discussing the the S3 and your interest in getting an S3 before you posted that statement.

But I guess that as long as you can fool yourself, that's all that matters, right?

 

Mick, what does it even fricking matter?

Get off his case... he wants a TiVo, let the guy get a TiVo without giving him the third degree... you've been in quite a funk of bi*chy mood lately...

ajwees41, don't take it personal... he's like this, and worse, with a lot of people.

You can check out this recent thread of his if you want to see what I mean:

Yes, that's exactly what I did for my 1st S3. Also if you then are thinking of another unit (since MRV/TTG will be enabled in November) you can buy a 2nd unit and commit to 3 years monthly and pay $6.95/month under MSD program for the 2nd unit. Right now with $200 mail in rebate the S3 is only $100 more than the THD so is also worth considering for it's larger internal drive & front panel (and it works with kickstart code if you plan to add external esata drive). (Others tout the glo remote as a $50 value a lot as well though personally I don't think that's a big deal since I use universal remotes anyway).

 

Nope. The mosaics are based on software uploaded to the cable company boxes and rely on 2-way communications to function.
