What the f*ck! No way! If they start doing this to me I'm out. No way they're forcing me to watch ads on a device I paid almost $1,000 for with lifetime service.

The fact that the TiVo play bar doesn't show until after the ad seems to prove that it's being inserted by the TiVo and not part of the recording.

What the actual f*ck! Seriously if they force this on us I'm going to be p*ssed. I hate ads! I've paid TiVo thousands upon thousands of dollars over the years to avoid them in my recorded TV. If they start trying to force their own ads onto me I'm done.

If they want to do this for new customers who pay less for their TiVo service then so be it. But don’t force it on those of us that paid $600 for lifetime.

Does anyone else make a CableCARD DVR? Does Silicone Dust still make one?

Well this is garbage! Seriously I don't care if I can skip it or not this is a deal killer for me. Right now it seems to only affect Hydra so I'm insulated, but I'm sure the comment above that said they were looking for TE3 testers is an indication we won't be immune for long.

I tried my Bolt OTA with Hydra and don't have the pre-roll. I never use that one directly anyway, but it's the only one I've got that has Hydra. Hopefully TE3 will be immune and I won't have to worry about it.

So you can call and opt out?
